13th Nicky Hayden
Nicky Hayden finished 13th in Austin, after starting from 22nd place on the grid taking home 3 Championship points.
Power Electronics Aspar rider Nicky Hayden made his 200th Grand Prix appearance today and he showed all the class and experience that has taken him to this impressive figure to bounce back from two difficult days of practice. The former World Champion started from 22nd on the grid but he soon began to make up positions once the race started, picking up three places on the first lap and continuing to advance forward whilst entertaining a valiant Jack Miller, whom he beat to secure thirteenth position at the finish.
Nicky Hayden:
“Compared with the rest of the weekend we have performed well in the race. I made a pretty bad start and lost acceleration in turn one, we still don't know why. After that I pushed hard and made up quite a few positions quite quickly. I had a nice fight with a bunch of guys, which I won to take some points and that was a small victory in my 200th GP. We have taken a lot of information from the weekend and we know that we need to improve the response from the front under braking. At the end of the race we suffered a lot from tyre wear, especially on the front, and it was tough to hold my position on the last few laps. Thirteenth place is not spectacular but I am happy because we have finished the weekend moving in the right direction and hopefully we can keep it going from here. I want to say thanks for all the support from everybody in my 200 GP.”
Go Nicky!!!

Did I hear the Announcer's correctly,... Hayden only finished outside the points one time in 200 starts???....just askin....
1) Marquez
2) Dovi
3) Rossi

Seems unlikely. Not counting DNFs apparentlyDid I hear the Announcer's correctly,... Hayden only finished outside the points one time in 200 starts???....just askin....
That is what they said, though I find it hard to believe. If it's true though it's impressive.Did I hear the Announcer's correctly,... Hayden only finished outside the points one time in 200 starts???....just askin....

My phone didn't like that I picked Rossi over the expected winner Marc..

That's what I thought....impressive to say the least. Enzo's post begs the question of whether DNFs are included... still 200 starts....only outside the points one time,... and finishing ahead of a bunch of younger/hungrier kids is even more impressive..... uh no where near what Marquez is doing, but stil.......l 200 -1= 199 races in the points, good on you Mr. Hayden.....That is what they said, though I find it hard to believe. If it's true though it's impressive.
This is going to be another very business weekend! Gotta work both Sat and Sun :/....but then at least I'll come back to a few hours of just motorcycle racing! Can't wait!
My prediction:
1. Marquez
2. Rossi
3. Lorenzo
last: Melandri...again

When the points include 15th place and on average 18 bikes finish the race, then yea… you just need to not be in the last 3 positions.Did I hear the Announcer's correctly,... Hayden only finished outside the points one time in 200 starts???....just askin....
Edit: No way is that data even remotely accurate. Nicky has GOBS of DNF's. What they mean is, when he kept the bike upright, his finishing position was just in the points.
Soooo, he has made "GOBS" of starts more than 200??? Made 300, 400, and scored points 75%, 50% of the time???When the points include 15th place and on average 18 bikes finish the race, then yea… you just need to not be in the last 3 positions.
