Nicky Hayden is getting himself ready for the GP of Spain. The Repsol Honda rider didn’t exactly had a dream start at the GP of Qatar; he was struggling all weekend and finished in 8th position. Even though the bike wasn’t working the way he wanted it, he didn’t want to whine or make any excuses.

But round 2 of the MotoGP season is bringing a new chance to fight and climb up the championship ladder. Nicky Hayden said about the GP of Spain:

“I’m definitely looking forward to the race at Jerez this weekend. The Spanish crowd, the atmosphere – everything about Jerez is fun and the passion the fans show is amazing.

The last test there went quite well for me and I’m looking forward to getting out on track, trying to get a good feeling with the bike and having some fun. It’s round two and I’m aiming to fight back strongly after Qatar.”
