Oh...sarcasm. I get it now. We are talking about second in points, right?

What I am saying, with no sarcasm, is that that article does nothing to help Nicky's detractors. It comes off sounding like whining. I pull for Nicky to win every race, and hope he wins the championship.

Re: Nicky Sux.
Fair enough, I came away from the artical thinking that the author was saying that all the other pretenders to the throne were falling by the way side, exept Hayden. He's still running strong and closing ground on the chosen one.

Kind of funny actually. Here is a guy that is consistently on the podium in the hardest class in the world (and when he is not on the podium he is top ten or even five). He is being beat by one of the best racers to ever live and he sucks What of the others on the grid that he beat? The must really be slow

I just hope that after Laguna this year, Rossi doesn't put the kabash on Hayden saying , "He will never win another motoGP"

Now, that would suck!

Re: Nicky Sux.
When you look at the lineage of the riders that Nicky is up against, compare that to his, you have nothing short of impressive. Even the greatest also ran to have ever racked up hype, CEII, doesn't have the simple, "I came from dirt trackin..." background.

Nicky has done some great things. One of the greatest to ever race...probably not. One of the most fun to watch and pull for... yes. Hard working and knows what he has to do..absolutly. Capable of winning more races other than Laguna...100%.

Ultimately, if you race for Honda, you know the score—you are owned. But, it takes a big man to loosen the shackles and go impress on track. Nick Hayden is doing just that. Credit where credit is due, no favoritism—he's getting the job done. Its early days in '06 (Rossi down at Jerez) but Repsol Honda lead the team standings and Hayden is second in the rider's championship.
The Kentucky kid has done good and there's more to come. Nick Hayden is rising like the Japanese sun.

Re: Nicky Sux.
I don't think he'll overtake Rossi in the championship but I think he's gonna put in a realy strong season. He looked like a different rider at Qatar. I think he'll take second.

I got to watch him blister a solid pack of veteran riders in an all out battle with a borrowed bike on the Indy mile once... I knew right then that he had the stuff...

I didn't think it was that bad. The point? If the G.O.A.T. wen't in racing in the championship right now, Nick would be kicking ass, and everyone would be getting in line to blow him. Pineapple juice or not.

Pedrosa? Nicky will finish WELL in front of him, easily. He's nothing more than the latest Spanish star to get a major ride thanks to his lineage. Just like Criville, he'll keep getting propped up and get the best support out there, but won't win until everyone else is gone.
