Nicky Hayden has eight races left (including this one) to get some good results with Ducati. His place next year will in fact be taken by Cal Crutchlow, current rider of the Yamaha Tech 3 Team. The start of the Grand Prix of the Czech Republic (tenth time), however, does not bode well for the American, who finished the race with the tenth fastest time. first day of testing. Like his team-mate Dovizioso, he also suffered a lack of grip, especially in the afternoon.

“It wasn't a very good day. In the morning session we weren't far behind the others, but in the afternoon I suffered from a lack of grip, as well as chattering and other cornering problems. I also made some driving mistakes and went wide several times. Now we need to understand clearly which direction to go with the bike setup to try to improve tomorrow."
