[inthewoods]

Rumor has it Hayden's soon to be on a Suzuki riding for Kevin Swantz along with Ben Spies.

Why is anyone debating karlitos? He's a Hayden troll and has been for years

Wait, it's all newer guys doing so. Guys, you'll learn soon enough. Karlitos only posts anti Haydn rhetoric here. Seriously review his posts.

The dude is like herpes.... disappears for a while, comes back with an attack of troll posts, disappears again... wash, rinse, repeat...

(minor, injury-related TJ):

WAY back in the black-&-white day, I went to my university's library
& searched the periodicals to discover a surprise "Sports Illustrated"
article on MV's Agostini

this was a near-unique happening, a major mag covering Euro-centered GP -
mebbe it was b'cz the 1st [& last.....] Canadian GP was imminent

the writer covered the standard stuff, but was shocked
to uncover that, rather than experiencing:
- Neil/Ben-type career-ending shoulders
- Nicky's wrist woes
- Hopper's amazing string of surgeries
- or death by crashing [all too common then]
Ago was uninjured & had all his fingers & toes!.....still does

that fact is part of why Ago's revered -
he was pretty much golden & competitive for his entire career

No one wants to speculate on if Hayden will ever be able to race a motogp bike again? It seems to me that removal of bones in a hand is what ended kevin Schwantz career among others. You have to be able to brace yourself when hitting the brakes as hard as they do. I am wondering if Nicky will be able to do that anymore.

As far as going down to WSBK, I would rather see if he might go back to Dirt Track just for shits and giggles.

Hopper had the same surgery and then almost won the BSB championship. it really sounds like Nicky's wrist is now better in every way. he just needs time to build that strength again. his career probably would have ended very soon anyways without the surgery.

Hopkins had scar tissue removed, Hayden had a whole row of bones in his wrist removed. No comparison at all.

Hayden's recovery is progressing slower than expected and he won't be riding at Silverstone as originally planned. The way the guys doing BT's MotoGP coverage last weekend were talking they don't expect him back next year either.

Nicky references Hopper and the procedure in an interview or two. they did have the same surgeon here in San Diego. i wouldnt be at all surprised if Hopper was also missing bones in his wrist.

edit: this article says explicitly that Toseland is the one missing bones... and we all know how that ended.

Wait, was this not how he wanted it to end?:laughing

Yep, tattooed lip outlines (seriously look at them) as a BTSport commentator! Though his insights are nice to listen to.

Oh really? Whatabout the Hayden ass muching pole suckers ??? Like.....

 

[karlitos]

And you'd still be wrong. Their results to date are behind where they were at this time last year with Hayden, 154 points today compared with 176 at this time a year ago.

Really???

2013 MotoGP Standing

Ducati:

Dovi: 8th 140 pts
Hayden: 9th 126 pts

2014 MotoGP Standing

Ducati:

Dovi: 5th 187 pts
Ioanne: 10th 102 pts

At the end of the season, as I predicted Ducati would do better (not win) without Hayden. Next year (2015) I "suspect" Ducati will do much better not only their number one bike, but overall. Of course, pundits like yourself will come up with... "they have fuel, tyre advantages and bla bla bla"

Fact is "your boy" wont be doing any better in 15 than he did in 14, despite the "big powa motah". Faster lap times? I am sure - but other than that, he wont break, once again, top ten. Funnier is to be beaten by a "green" Suzuki that still has teething problems ...Humm....

I suppose you have not considered that IF you boi luv was soooo good, he would be hired as Hayden would say: "I am uh FACTORY rider"! but low and behold it is not the case, now is it? Musta be an "anti-Hayden conspiracy" !!

Another year of the Hayden hangup excuses from the Hayden fan bois.... perhaps the last in motogp....

Thread closed. It's outdated discussion and not currently relevant seeing as Hayden remains in GP. Feel free to talk about Hayden in any of the ongoing GP threads as related to current events.

If/when an announcement is made that he will go to WSBK, I'll reopen this thread.
