Finally waded through all the email updates from my motogp.com subscription and saw this.    
Hopefully he gets a decent ride for 2014. He deserves it after getting such sub-par bikes from Ducati.

Eh, done the sme thing a hundred times. [roll] My middle name is "derby".

I like "The Kid" and I hope he lands something decent. Don't see that happening in GP though.
I plan to list the Federal Gov't. as a dependent on my next 1040 tax filing!

I have flying honey badgers and I'm not afraid to use them!

The fact that flame throwers exist is proof that someone somewhere said "I'd sure like to set those people over there on fire but I'm just not close enough to get the job done."

CONFIDENCE: the feeling you have right before you understand the situation.

Except Dovi and Pedro, right?  [roll] They must not be very good either.

The line from Ducati:

http://www.cycleworld.com/2013/07/29/ducati-boss-paolo-ciabatti-explains-decision-to-release-nicky-hayden/

Sounds like there's a Ducati Superbike offer (though maybe an informal one, without all the zeroes filled out, much less the rest of the contrace) on the table.

the way I read that was as a potential replacement for Pirro possibly....from this bit alone...

"....“In the past, Ducati had some good results with Nicky, but we were never able to achieve any race wins. There is a cycle in the sporting life of athletes, and I think we all, including him, need to look at a different opportunity.”....Will Hayden continue to be involved in development of the current machine? “Yes,” said Ciabatti. “We really value his input and effort. This bike can be improved....."
