While I agree that it was classy of Nicky...

Nicky is also "just" Nicky. Do you think Hayden has a chance at any other ride if Ducati punted him to the curb? Of course he isn't going to rock the boat no matter how bad things are getting. Rossi can piss and moan because...well he has 9 world championships and a very storied career to give him a fluffy marshmallow of protection of sorts.

That being said, the entire Hayden family have always been pretty classy...for hillbillies  laughingdp (I keed I keed). I have never seen or heard of any of the boys, mom or Earl being anything but just honestly good folks.

YES...I do...because he has a hard work ethic, and while he isn't top tier alien...he is a solid rider capable of results and doesn't complain and puts on a very good PR face....look after all at how he was getting the shaft at HRC when Dani came in and yet, he didn't voice any of what you know he was feeling....

I'm torn with this one. They are both world champions and should be allowed their opinions of the bikes they are riding. Rolling the team under the bus is a douchebag move, but it seems to be getting results. Maybe they should have done a role reversal and have Nicky pregnant dog. Maybe then Ducati might have said "damn, the bike is so bad that even Nicky is complaining?"

I don't disagree with your work ethic comment. But look at Colin. The same strong work ethic and the man is nothing if not consistent. But he has been relegated to a CRT team and not even one owned by the team that was so appreciative of everything he has done. If Nicky were to ever leave Ducati, I think he would have a hard time finding anything more than a CRT team. Even the satellite teams would pass on him to get an up and coming Moto2 star to groom for an eventual factory ride.

Yup...

because loyalty and hard work mean nothing in today's society.

Wouldn't you agree? Grin

I have to agree.

Hayden to WSBK on a factory 1199 would be very cool though!  waytogo I could see Ducati offering him that if he lost his GP seat. He'd have a legitimate shot at winning again as well...which I'm guessing he would like.

While I would love to see Hayden on a 1199 in wsbk.. is it sad to say that he seems a bit young for the wsbk winners circle nowadays?   laughingdp

Overall though... I think everyone would rather just see the whole motogp paddock in wsbk.  Would at least make a great exhibition race.

(trivia question: the background music in this video, in a slightly different arrangement, is used in the last scene of what movie?)

It's Moby's "the spirit of God moving over the waters"... so the correct answer would be "Heat"
