MotoGP – Preview Le Mans – Nicky Hayden: “It's probably the hardest track on the calendar”

The French track of Le Mans, scene of the third round of the 2010 world championship, is certainly among the most "indigestible" for Nicky Hayden. In fact, the American Ducati rider has never managed to get on the podium and has never even hit the front row. Kentucki Kid is still coming off two excellent fourth places and therefore the goal is to remain at high levels. He has the microphone.

“For me, Le Mans is probably the hardest track on the calendar because, in my entire career, I think it's the only one where I've never been on the podium and I've never started from the front row. It will be interesting for this too. As I have already said other times, we started the season well, we are coming off two good races, but we have to keep our feet on the ground and continue working because the objective is to constantly remain at a good level and try to close the small gap that we still have. Those couple of tenths to remove are definitely the hardest but I feel comfortable with the bike and with the team, I'm having fun and I feel confident about the rest of the season.”
