....eally? Where?

Anyone think this will impact his 2012 in the slightest?

Well... I wasn't expecting to see him challenging for wins/the championship, but I would like to see him at 100% for the whole season.

Hayden has grown on me over the years... In 2005 I thought he was a whinging yank, but when the whinging Aussie and whinging Italian started testing out their bellows, he seemed a lot more tollerable. Hope he does well and recovers quickly.

Repost from the broken bones thread. . so hardly a repost

I hope he recovers too .. not sure how much he will be jostling up the front next year though .. hopefully can bring some fight back to the front though!

I like Hayden. Seems like a decent bloke. Dunno that he's an alien though.

That all depends on what development Ducati have been able to do over the break compared to the other factories really. And depends on how well the bigger bikes suit some of the riders...

Really hoping the CC shift causes a shift in the "alien" composition.

I'm not placing any bets on who will win next years GP though. Break in season with brand new bikes... Just hope there is some good competition and good racing! And that the CRT teams are competitive to some degree.

^ I was originally going to post "Hope he recovers but won't make a difference to the front of the pack regardless" but then figured who knows what will happen with the new bikes

I'd like to see spies, hayden, rossi more competitive. I would love to see the CRTs being competitive - the aprilia in particular sounds interesting, but doubt they'll be up the sharp end.

The change in the tyres will be a huge factor. As well as the lift on the testing ban. The tyres came under a lot of criticism, particularly last year where crashes went up by what seemed like a large margin.
