In the past, Honda has been pretty prick ish about outgoing riders meshing with their new team before the start of the new season testing
but heres Hayden..... at Ducati dealer show already
Soup :: Ducati Dealers Get Christmas In September :: 09-16-2008
and they will start testing the Ducati after the race at Valencia!!
thats pretty cool of Honda to not give Nicky the Rossi treatment of not letting him test until next season.... either that, or lack of respect for the possibility that Nicky might beat hem next year on the Ducati, and that would be pretty dumb of Honda...im going with Honda being cool to a guy that showed class through all the BS.
im giddy with this whole Hayden Ducati thing... i think Casey and Nicky are goiung to do great. Honda might finally figure out the 800cc RC but Ducati still ahead either way and Of course Rossi will be Rossi, im talking top 3 stuff here.
