FORMER MOTOGP World Champion Nicky Hayden visited the Ducati factory on Wednesday this week, to check up on the developments of his 2010 Desmosedici GP10 racer.
The American met Ducati Corse staff and cracked open a few bottles of bubbly, presumably after the Kentucky rider had discussed the finer points of his 2010 steed.
This, from Hayden's website:
Here are a few photos from my visit to Ducati. I came by yesterday to check in with the fellas and to see my new weapon for the 2010 racing season. There are a lot of changes that have gone on at Ducati in the last bit, but the one thing that never changes is the passion.
We also had a lil toast for Christmas with all the Ducati Corse guys, everybody was dressed in red but I didn’t see Santa! But I guess I could say Santa came early for me this year, because when I got to see my new bike it was kinda like Christmas morning, but looks like I will have to wait to till February before I get to take my new toy out and play with it. Well, anyway, I better go, we are off to the wind tunnel later today to find some top speed and then to India for the opening of a new Ducati store, but it’s all good because then I get to go home and spend Christmas with my family…
