Prayers are answered!!! Nicky is da man!!
So where's the party??

[Super Dave]

Yeah, it's cool!

[RCR_531]

I know went to RRW and bam there it was could not believe it.

[Jeff]

That's why I didn't touch a computer since EARLY this AM...

Freaking AWESOME!!!  Could have had a bit more drama, but regardless, I'm so glad that Nicky brought it home...

Stay tuned, there will be a signed 2006 MotoGP pit vest, signed by the ENTIRE Hayden Family, up on ebay in the next day or so.  Proceeds to go to the Red Flag Fund...

[K3 Chris Onwiler]

That's just awesome, and couldn't have happened to a nicer, more deserving rider.  To take a World Championship away from the best who's ever been is the accomplishment of a lifetime. 
Too damn bad 99% of the people in America don't know or care....

[Steviebee]

World Champ!! 
Actually i was hoping for the Rossi/Haydon battle

But Holyshit Batman  Did Bayliss make a statement or What!!

[Jason748]

Way to go Nickey! 

But Holyshit Batman  Did Bayliss make a statement or What!!

Oh Yea!  One-off race, First GP Win! Bayliss Rules!!!

[jeyrod]

Bayliss absolutely amazing! Rossi makes a huge mistake?! NICKY IS CHAMPION! Almost makes up for my Tigers series appearance.

[funsizeracing]

wooohoooo!

sorry Guy, i couldnt help myself.

[StumpysWife]

Don't you wish this had been spoiled to you..on CNN as it should have been?!!!  I hope he gets some press this week here in the States.

It's just so awesome for him and his family.  I just about cried for him.

My Hayden will be sporting her limited edition World Champion Nicky Hayden onesie for the rest of the year--or 'til the end of the week when she grows out of it.

It was very refreshing to hear Nicky's post race interview where he gave credit to his local boyz, and took a second to thank God, instead of the endless list of sprocket, spring and bolt sponsors.  We have a hero in our sport that brings a little bling to the USA as a place where we still place value on things you cant stuff yer pockets with, like family, friends and faith!  What a time to be a roadracer!  Art.
