you can see in those pics the bike no longer has the steel tube frame in the bike. also you know who has to be loving this
Alpinestars has got to love this they will have both hayden and stoner in their gear on identical bikes, and will be able to outfit them with identical gear of their top of the line stuff.

Good luck to Nicky, I really hope he does better than Melandri. I was bummed that he didn't go better on the bike.

Hayden: "Like I told my brother, I don't know what they pay Casey but it's not enough. They need to double it," Hayden said, "because this thing can be a monster." "It was about what I expected," Hayden said this afternoon. "I didn't think it would be easy and I also didn't think it was going to be a disaster. I can see the potential of the bike; but it's also going to take a lot to get it out of it too. "I think that in three or four months we should have a good handle on it. If I don't learn it by the time we get to Qatar then I'm probably not going to have learned it by the time we get back here next year this time." Interesting comments for sure. |

They already had that at Honda. Pedrosa also wears A*s. |

His new hat still does not fit  Can't wait to see what he can do with a little more time under his belt.  |

This season, did *any* of the Ducati riders get within 1.6 seconds of Stoner in dry conditions?
My point was for comparative purpose. That Stoner on the new model was faster than he was on the 08 (he set a new lap record in the race). Hayden on a new bike (and tires) was slower than he was on the Honda but that is to be expected, he is not that far off, this boy is going to fly next season. |

How cool is it that his first day with the team and they have a bike for him with a custom livery to celebrate his arrival? I hope Nicky is a lot more comfortable and has more success with Ducati than back with the gimps at Honda.
Ducati is going to take real good care of him. |

I wonder if anyone has ever approached him about that. Maybe we should say something on his fan-site. |

`When I got in the first time I told my brother (Tommy) that I´m not sure what they pay Casey, but it´s not enough! They need to double it because the bike is a bit of an animal!´ continued the `Kentucky Kid´.
and Stoner thinks,`The GP9 is much smoother´  |

Pedrosa is sponsored by the Kids division of A* though, so it doesn't count.  |
