Nicky Hayden On Replacing MotoGP Riders: The Level Is So High, It's Nearly Impossible
http://www.motomatters.com/news/2010/06/23/nicky_hayden_on_replacing_motogp_riders_.html
I don't think you can just bring in a wildcard whose going to be in the mix, be in the top 5. If there was already somebody out there like that, they would already have a job.

All this stuff about the "level being so high" coming from MotoGP riders is beginning to sound a a little self serving. I'm not sure it's the level, so much as the bikes and tyres ride so differently... even the great Ben admitted as much. If it was just the "level of riders" how come ex GP riders don't go to other series and just kick ass?

The GP grid/racing is boring enough already.
They'll never survive with 5.
I think riders like Ben and some of the others that will inevitably make the jump from the 'lesser' series will make the current crop of GP boys take notice.

Booooorrrrriiiiiiinnnnnggggg.
But that's pretty much what we'd normally expect -- a development rider. It's that we all got our hopes up for this one.
Kurtis would've been better.

I seem to recall Max Biaggi's debut on the Corona Suzuki in WSBK was pretty close to being on top out of the gate....

see Max Biaggi's old attitude....
as much as I have bagged on Max in the past and called him many dispariging things...I have to give him credit as a great rider who gets the business done and does it fairly well.

I like Max too and always liked him as a racer. I think that time away from GP racing and no one wanting to give him a ride were good for him. At least publicly he dropped the pregnant dogy prima donna attitude that used to piss everyone off so bad. Also cost his GP ride to a degree. He seems happy and enjoying himself. Who wouldn't be when you are kicking ass??!! I'd love to see him and Aprilla take the title this year. Don't get me wrong, I love Ducatis. But just like last year when I was rooting for The Ben I find myself this year pulling for Max!

YEAH, but back then, what kind of argument against your presence would you have gotten from the rocks and dirt you were working with back in the stone age?....LOL....J/K
