It was really great to see him on the podium after all the hardships this season in his transition from Honda to Ducati. But from the past few races it appears that him and his Team have finally been able to get the bike to where he can work it, and also I'm sure he has had to adapt to it in many ways. Hopefully Nicky and his team will continue to do well the last 5 races, and he can make Ducati think twice about that contract.

hes lucky that rossi and pedrosa crashed

@oldsquid Wrong! He also was the best qualifier that season. He deserved that Championship, and even Rossi said so in interviews. With his Duc running right he can do great things. Just look what happened when Casey was out and Nicky got the attention he deserves. A podium. And had it not been for De Anelis who knows what else. Hayden has also consistantly finished top 5 except his rookie season and '09. That's not middle of the pack guy...

Hayden went through a lot this year. That why he flipped out on de Angelis !

Ducati is really proud of its bikes, they think 90% of the merit when a racer wins is due to the bike and 10% to the racer that's why Rossi won't Race for 'em Rossi left Honda when everybody thought he was good coz the bike he had.

[oldsquid]

He'll never win another race at this level and the only reason he has a MotoGP championship is every leading rider crashed out of contention that year. No denying his talent, but look at his overall results in the premier class and he's a constant mid pack rider. At least Alex Criville has company in the "At least I shone one year" club.

To Rossi ?? hell no ,, the whole Paddock knows that Rossi has a 2 year contract with Yamaha :S

[tittiblaster]

ducati offered his spot to pedrosa, rossi and lorenzo. they all declined, otherwise he would gone. 14th place! go nicky!

[deschaap]

You must feel so stupid right now.

THe problem with MotoGP as I see it is a power to weight ration issue. The 999cc change to 800 cc's really is a stupid equation suited only to the lighter riders. The way to level the playing field is to weight handicap the bikes and riders so everyone weighs the same. Then lets see who the riders are, bet it wouldn't be that pansy fuck Pedrosa!!!!!!

nicky is cute hihihi

Glad to hear that Ducati signed him up for another ride in 2010. Nicky tries his best every time. They just really need to work on that bike because of the race had an extra 2 or 3 laps Dovi would have passed him to take 3rd. Ducati really needs to focus more on Hayden. Stoner already has his bike setup the way he likes. He just needs to get his motivation back.
