Default Great read on Hayden and Honda's relationship

im not a die hard hayden fan, nor a honda fan, but this is a damn good read, and puts perspective on how hayden's been treated, and how good of a rider he is.

will have to read this one later, I thought it was initially a mistake to draft the nickster... I think roberts has more talent, but looks like Honda's investment has stabilized

Nicky has a lot of talent, with him riding the on testing bike and still pulling podiums is quite impressive. they didnt expect that at all.

sweet article. didn't realize how much of a role politics could play in motorcycle racing. but it just endorses why hayden is my favorite rider. at first it was because i felt he was hard working and actually had personality (not like drone pedrosa), but now after seeing how far he's come this year i'll definately second the hayden ftw.
