In every dark cloud there is a silver lining. With Vale jumping ship and plopping right back on his old Yamaha, Nicky Hayden finds himself in a perfect position. Not only do Ducati respect Nick for his talent and no nonsense get the job done attitude and the fact that he has outridden his super hero team mate in most races this season but, fresh on the heels of the AUDI purchase,Ducati are flush with cash and will really do some work on the current bike.Everything is falling right into good ol' Nick's lap,which must seem heaven sent. Give Hayden a bike capable of winning and he will get the job done.
