Nicky is a quality rider. The Ducati should suit him well, he seems to like a big scary fast bike. He always stays cool and doesn't spout off like some of the others. Here's to a good 2009 season.

At the begining of this year I didnt have a good opinion about Nicky but now,after seeing some videos on the motogp channel and especially after seeing what atitude he took and the end of the season,when even though he knew he was leaving Honda he worked even harder.He s a very cool guy and I hope he does well.I also wanna see Dovi kick Dani s ass next year.

Nicky was taken out by Pedrosa the race before, Rossi just lost the front end. So he and Rossi were equal and Nicky won the championship! :)

Because ROSSI crashed. Exactly :)

Absolutely Rossi is just amazing, I love the guy too, but I just can't stand people that are so blind/fanatical and one sided and can't give credit and respect when it's due Nicky won that title in 06 by riding his but off. I'm tired of the excuses he won because Rossi's bike sucked, and so on. I'm not claiming that Nicky is the best. I've also defended Casey just as much when people try to discredit his greatest achivement in racing. Like these idiots would have a clue how to win a world title.

not quite changed the bike. not at all, however they completely took all development away from him and admittingly put Pedrosa the No.1 rider. totally agree that Hayden will do well on Duc, shakey bike + a lifetime of dirttrack racing will suit ideally, and as for tyres, well everyone will be on the Bridgestone now...butthats another debate, lol.

yyyyyep, words out of my mouth mate...the only people who seem to hate Nicky are those Rossi Fanatics...Now i love rossi dont get me wrong...im just talking about his fanatical dilusional fanbase...Nicky is an amazing rider and hope he does well next to casey next year, the life or dirt track racing should suoit the shakey ducati very well!
