This page is dedicated to Nicky Hayden. He is a motorcycle racer in the MotoGP World Championship for Respol Honda. Entering the 2003 season Nicky Hayden jumped straight into the MotoGP deep-end as team-mate to Valentino Rossi on the Repsol Honda factory team. Born in Kentucky and from a family with a strong name in US racing, the 2002 AMA Superbike Champion was a wanted man with various teams at only 21 years of age but took the hottest seat in the paddock next to the reigning World Champion. Nicky Hayden took some time to find his feet but towards the end of his debut campaign began to show his potential with some electrifying race performances and two podiums in the last four GPs lifting him to an excellet fifth overall. Hayden scored two consecutive podiums in Brazil and Germany in 2004, but his lack of consistency and injuries saw him ending up in eighth position overall. In 2005 his move to become offical HRC rider coincided with the return of the World Championship to Laguna Seca. Hayden didn't squander the opportunity and led the race from the start to earn himself his first MotoGP victory. After that brilliant triumph he assumed a much more active role in the Championship. In the Following nine Grand Prix he stepped onto the podium on five occasions and closed the season in third position overall. The Kentucky Kid took his crowning glory in 2006, when he became the new MotoGP World Champion in the final race of the season. One of the most consistent riders in the premier class, Hayden will be looking to increase his win tally of three this season as he defends his title.
