(black954 @ Sep. 16 2006,05:53) I predict Hayden will finish behind all the aussie riders with Rossi winning. Hayden is AWESOME by himself on a track.
Just another stepping stone till Rossi takes the championship.........again
Hopefully Pedrosa will put in a strong showing cause I think either he or Vale will take the championship.
So if Hayden and Rossi battle head to head and Nicky comes out on top, will you then think that Hayden is worthy of the title??
I'm not against Hayden, I just don't think He has earned his way to the top of the points. He is the best American rider in GP, but that doesn't say too much. Now if Hayden and Rossi are battling for the lead and Hayden wins, I will look out the window for flying pigs! No, good for him if he does, Rossi is still human and can't dominate every race.
Have you ever seen Hayden's interviews, he seems so unsure of himself and doesn't have a champions demeanor. Look at Matt Mladin and Rossi in interviews, they are very calculated and have confidence that that's what they meant to do. When Hayden does good, he's all "thank God" and overly excited like it was and accident that he did well. I think the only thing he's lacking is confidence in himself.
I'm not against Americans in GP, it's just that Rossi is a God amongst men in motorcycle racing and I enjoy watching his style on the track. I just found out this week that Rossi and I have the same birthdates!
