Rossi and Hayden

I was just cruising the Phillips Island website and saw the most recent lap times . Friggin close there !

Unofficial times
1. Valentino Rossi (Gauloises Yamaha Team) - 1’29.68
2. Nicky Hayden (Honda) - 1’29.69

Thing is , Rossi runs so hard at the end of races . He just don't let up .

He's like a football team running up the score , nevertheless ....

Should be an interesting season .

BTW , a Renard holds the track record at 1:24 something

Rossi is a god among men.

Nicky would do much better in MotoGP if he wasn't born to slide. He's still my hero though.

Re: Rossi and Hayden

Having personally met Hayden, he will continue to be my favorite. Rossi is the Dale Earnhart of MotoGP, love him because of his cutthroat attitude, or hate him for it. In Jerez when Rossi ran Gibbernau off the track on the last lap, I was SOOO pissed. Rossi is such a technical rider, and so flawless in his execution, there's no possible way he merely "ran wide" like he tried to say he did. Hayden has proven he can hang with the leaders, and post decent qualifying times. I just hope he can master the learning curve and manage to win a race. The first race win is the jumpstart he needs.

Re: Rossi and Hayden

I met him in Daytona the season of his championship win. My wife and I got signed posters from Nicky, Kurtis and Miguel w/ a little special note from Kurtis because she fell in love with him. I don't know what it is about redheads w/ her but I will NOT dye my hair and grow even more freckles even if it gets me laid more.

I mentioned to Nicky that he should start scrapping, throwing elbows and kicking like they did in world supersport. He just laughed and said he'd rather race than fight.

I have to say as competitive as those Eyetalyun and Spanish boys are, he hates to lose. He doesn't just like to go fast. He loves to compete. Every testing break he comments that he doesn't care much to test and just wants to go racing again.
