Nicky Hayden makes perfect start at Valencia

Nicky Hayden - GP of ValenciaRepsol Honda RC212V rider Nicky Hayden made a perfect start to the 2008 season finale at Valencia today, heading both morning and afternoon practice sessions. His team-mate Dani Pedrosa was a close second quickest, giving the Repsol Honda team a one-two start to the weekend.

Fittingly, for the last race of the wettest GP season in living memory, both of today’s sessions were run in the wet, Hayden showing his mastery of the slippery Valencia circuit on his Michelin-equipped RCV. This morning’s outing was run in heavy rain, conditions improving slightly this afternoon, with less surface water on the track, which allowed Hayden to better his first session time by almost two seconds.
