Petite News d'Hayden

Hayden a ete toucher au meme endroit qu'au Qatar. Il s'en sort sans blessure, mais bien froisser...

“That was exactly what we didn't need,” said Hayden. “I got a decent start and I think I was up a couple of positions but just going down into the hairpin, which is a slow hard-braking corner, I was on my line and Takahashi just took me down. There was no warning - I didn't even hear anything!

“I don't want to say much about that, I don't want to look like a cry-baby but, you know, it was the first lap… luckily I feel okay. I actually landed in the same place on my back as the crash in Qatar and my leathers and helmet have got exactly the same marks.

“It's a shame because this weekend I honestly felt we were making some progress. I felt we had better communication going on and we worked more comfortably from the first day. I know we were never looking at a great result but I felt I could have been competitive today. Anyway, we have to move forward and to look to the next race,” added the Ducati Marlboro rider.
