What number should Hayden run the rest of the year? - **Phillip Island SPOILER**

Stoner IS Champ as of last week, so...
Should Hayden keep #1 on his plate? Or put the 69 back on?

Number 1 is his for the entire year. He earned it. Stoner will have his turn next year.

He should run the #1 plate for the rest of the season and return to #69 in the 2008 season.

You must be pretty ignorant to think that, but hey, this is America. You can think any way you want.
Wait, you're in South Africa!

I know, Colin Edwards is crap. Ask Michelin.

There are lots of South African 500cc/MotoGP Champions though.
List of Grand Prix motorcycle racing World Champions - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

and Superbike Champions

Dumbass.

It's spelled loser, not looser...does anybody else see the irony here?

Hayden didn't win by luck...he earned that championship.

I'm not even american and I was damn proud when hayden took it last year. He earned that championship even without a supportive team (ex the ****ing Pedrosa/Hayden crash when pdobot tried to take him on the inside..). But I mean I can see where the South African is coming from, with the vast gene pool they have to pull from they have some of the best riders in the GP just mopping up the competetion. North Americans beware, the Africans are coming and they're coming to take the championship

Re: What number should Hayden run the rest of the year?

If Hayden could ride why has he only got 112 points in the bag.I know you going to blame it on tyres,motors,management and even the tea girl.I will fly over and come and kiss all of your backsides if hayden will ever win again, no wait that is not fair cause i know it will never happen lets make it in the top three.And as for our SOUTH AFRICAN riders non of you now your racing cause if you did you would have notice how many of them are all over the world racing and do pretty good for them selves.I know you would like me to help you so i will.The latest news is that on the 2 SEPTEMBER 2007 WILMARIE JANSE VAN RENSBURG A WOMEN IF I MAY ADD came THIRD in a endurance race at Estoril if you dont know where that is it is in Portugal and if you dont know where that is get yourself a map.Anyway the qualified 8th out of 23 teams and if i may say they were the only women team and there were american boykies like yourself as well.They going to race now in the World Endurance race in Qatar in November so maybe have a look out the SOUTH AFRICANS are on there way but we will first send our women out to come and beat the crap out of you. Just because you are american and so is hayden,edwards,hopkins,roberts,roger lee and kenny is not to say the whole world must now like them.Please guys if you cant take critisim what are you doing here.ONE THING I DO KNOW THE SOUTH AFRICANS ONLY BUT KIKCK THE americans back sides in the foot ball.And yes we are the next world champions.But then that doesnt count.ROSSI FOR CHAMP and hayden for LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOSER.

Re: What number should Hayden run the rest of the year?

I'll only acknowledge criticism if it's intelligent. You are just spitting brash nonsense. (With the punctuation and grammar of a 12 year old I might add.)

Oh yeah, speaking of endurance racing, Colin Edwards won the 8 Hours of Suzuka, twice. If you don't know what the Suzuka Circuit is, it's one of the most demanding tracks in the world. It's in Japan, and if you don’t know where that is you can look it up on a map.

I’m going to say it again. Dumbass.

Re: What number should Hayden run the rest of the year?

When we say Colin Edwards is this the same Colin Edwards that has won the WSB World Championship TWICE 2000 & 2002?

The same Colin Edwards that only finished off the podium ONCE in WSB in 2002 and won the last NINE races????

As for Nicky Hayden - Is this the same Hayden who was the youngest EVER AMA Superbike Champion in 2002?

The same one that won MotoGP Rookie of the year in 2003 and is the current World Champion?

Nah you're right Marius, neither of them can ride. I think the stats will prove us both right there mate

Next you'll be saying that Wayne Rainey and Kevin Shwantz couldn't ride either.
