Holliday675 Posted September 22, 2008 Share Posted September 22, 2008 i think this is the best move of his career being a massive stoner and hayden fan i must say i am looking forward to next season and this one ent even finished, cant wait to see the ducati being backed into corners by hayden, and of course stoner getting back to form.

techno Posted September 22, 2008 Share Posted September 22, 2008 Likeable as Hayden is cant see him doing much on the Duke to be fair, bit when you know your time is up best get a contract and I think its as much to do with ducati sales in america as anything else.

Hoody Posted September 23, 2008 Share Posted September 23, 2008 I'm with you Yorbs, Stoner is just a mardy git!I rate Nicky, I just don't think the big H gave him their support.That said I'm not a Duckhatty fan, so I will be torn with my loyalties, like I am with Hamilton ( ) and McLaren ( ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 26, 2008 Share Posted September 26, 2008 Nicky is my man, has been since early AMA days and Ive always followed and supported him.I'm as excited as any Nicky fan about him moving to the big bad Duke, I think he is one man who will be able to tame it - Marco and Toni have always been very hit or miss and if the bike isnt working they tend to give up, Nicky however is a trier, u all know how many laps he did on that damn Honda but as we also know, Honda didn't give a rats ass about Nicky, was all about golden balls...Now he has a team MATE who will share data and hopefully help him (until he starts beating him).It'll be interesting and I have to say, I have ordered my Ducati tee and badges already Peace,Steveo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voodoo Posted September 26, 2008 Share Posted September 26, 2008 Got to agree with Techno, Hayden really isn't that good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 26, 2008 Share Posted September 26, 2008 Got to agree with Techno, Hayden really isn't that good. Nicky won the AMA championship and the MotoGP championship before Stoner.... what did Stoner do before the 2007 season - feck all.Thats the way I see it anyway... I was at Donington for the GP this year and u could see how much harder he was trying than anyone else - for this I respect him but I wouldnt say he is better than Hayden.Nicky hasnt got on with the 800's but he was awesome on the 990's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see it as he wasn't good enough, just bad equipment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 26, 2008 Share Posted September 26, 2008 Which is what Nicky has now! lol!The Honda isnt a good bike, we all know that.Lets see what he can do with the Duke. Then again, if the Duke was such a good bike, why is Marco and Sylvain etc not getting podiums every week like Casey 'crasher' Moaner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voodoo Posted September 26, 2008 Share Posted September 26, 2008 I think the Ducati must be a little bit strange at handling and it just happens to suit Stoner, but I recon if Stoner was on a works Yamaha he'd still be good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 26, 2008 Share Posted September 26, 2008 Where as I dont..I think he would return to the Randy De Puniet style of crashing 6 times a weekend... every weekend Casey was on a Honda I believe in the 990's and did NOTHING, was rubbish... a change to 800's and a Duke and BAM instant champ.As said I have respect as I have seen how hard he rides and all this shite about stupid twats calling him a w**ker etc annoys me as ANY one of those riders are bloody legends.Anyway, back on topic...GO NICKY, GO NICKY - GO GO !!!!!!!!!!
