[Ducati] John Deere GP

[Alec Moss]

Hayden is head and shoulders above Pedrosa when it come to articulate.  What
a boring example of a 'passionate' Spaniard.  Hayden at least smiles and has
his gut behind what he says.

Wasn't Stoner sort of pushed off the track the second time?  Seemed that way
to me, and I know he was trying hard to get through but it seemed he had a
little help.

It's gonna be great.
