I know it's non moto but the guy is a legend in road racing & one of the best never to win a MotoGP title. He will be missed in the paddock next year.
American Honda pressured the GP team to take Nicky and they treated him like a stepchild. Meanwhile Pedrosa was Spanish and so is Repsol so he was golden while delivering less results. In Nicky's championship run they gave the newest parts (as reported at the time) to Pedrosa and Sete Gibernau on Gresini, but not to Nicky. And here Hayden is beating Rossi (one of the best ever) in his prime!
Then they go and keep Pedrosa while pushing Nicky out to Ducati and then to sattellite teams. I don't know why that all bothered me so much about Pedrosa. I probably need to let it go ha.
One incident doesn't make a life, but it just seemed so premeditated and shady that I admit I never really looked at him the same...
Still, great rider!
