the ducati's very quick,good tyres,and is built for a normal sized moto gp rider(bit smaller than most of us)but the Rc212v was built specifically for the midget Pedrosa,even the 1 piece billeted handlebars,made to his specs which cost 3000 dollar a set and are chucked after every race
I know the company that makes alot of the Rc212v parts so i hear a few things.
I reckon hayden will do great next year.We can maybe thank his manager for this,as he has close connections to Italian companies.
We shouldnt feel too sad for moto gp riders,but it's been pretty tough for Nicky hayden since 2007,imagine winning the world championship for Honda,but due to money(thats the reason Pedrosa got a custom bike as Honda was sick of paying so much for the moto gp bikes,with very little return except from repsol)Honda basically turning their back on hayden.Mustnt have help.
He's very talented and gutsy,so maybe 2009 will be his year
