Default Nicky Hayden doing X-Games Supermoto this Sat.!!!

http://www.racerxill.com/break....aspx

Finally one of the fast American road racers is doing X-Games Supermoto again. None of them have done it since EBoz last did it (I think in the second year). I'm glad Honda actually cleared Nicky to do it, they could've been jerks and said no. Now if only he can do the Indy Mile...

I say he has a good chance against Burkhart (if he is racing) unless he gets f-ed by the mandatory pit stop like so many good riders have in the past.

Road course still gonna be made with traffic barriers? I'd pass for that reason alone. Didn't Ben win it the first year? Either way I betting he struggles with the big jumps. He'll be top five, but I've always thought that course favored moto guys, with a triple and rythme sections. I wonder if Honda making him do it to bring them some "star" power. The 450 moto guys get smoked every weekend this summer and none of their road racers have much name recognition outside of road race fans. Average X-games fans know of Nicky thanks to red bull.

I'd rather see him at the mile, trying for the grand slam.

All 3 hayden brothers started racing on the dirt of course. A lot of pros got their start that way.
