New season. New team. Same determination. Nicky Hayden heads into his 9th season in MotoGP. The 2006 world champion is known for his intense preparation and extraordinary work ethic. The "Kentucky Kid" gains the required fitness to get the most out of his Ducati GP10 through countless hours of training upon his Specialized bikes.

Specialized bikes in my garage:

S-Works Venge, Tarmac SL3, Epic MTB.

Biggest career accomplishment:

2006 MotoGP World Championship.

Favorite race:

The US Grand Prix...hard to choose between Indy and Laguna.

Favorite bike ride:

Out my front door around the Kentucky farmland in God's country!!! Also

enjoy riding the race track before the race week begins. (Nicky kinda

started this trend among a number of the riders.)

Future goals:

Win another World Championship.

Best part of bike riding?

Food. After a long ride, I love cereal with some fruit and recovery

nutrition in it! I'm still a big kid.

Why bikes?

The bikes are training tools to help me in MotoGP, plus I enjoy going out

with some of the boys to suffer a bit. For me, training on the bike is as

much to get stronger mentally as physically!
