| Hayden/Rossi @ Laguna Ok have to stop reading magazines b/c they put to many ideas into my head.
Motorcyclist has a tiny 1/4 page thing about motogp in Laguna and a picture of Nicky Haden. The little caption above him says "Can Hayden outrun Rossi at Laguna?"

Is there an advantage to the fact that Hayden used to run there or can the others learn the track super quick like Qatar or like Vermulen learned it for WSB weekend? |

| Re: Hayden/Rossi @ Laguna Yes both Nicky and Colin have run the track before, yes they have both won there before. However, they would be riding new machinery there, thus re-learning the track.
Yeah, they would have a slight advantage with knowing the track. I think the larger advantage would be the atmosphere.
Either way, it is going to be a good time. |

| Re: Hayden/Rossi @ Laguna Who cares....let's just hope that some of the principals don't get gridded in the rear this time. Much more fun to watch the race that way...

| Re: Hayden/Rossi @ Laguna It's not the most wide open course, I would think the maneuverability of the yammie might be an advantage. Honda may not be able to fully stretch it's legs.  |

| Re: Hayden/Rossi @ Laguna Laguna is a long way off, a lot of things can happen between now and then. But....if Hopper and Suzuki keep improving I don't see why he wouldn't be a contender. |
