Do you think Roger Hayden is ready for MotoGP?

Question

He had a very good race at Laguna with Kawasaki, but I have to chalk that up to track knowledge. What about tracks he's never seen before?

Answer 1

Hey Kaju,

I don't think he's ready for a move, I don't know if he's even raced outside the states yet.

Do you think he would get a seat with Kawasaki? I don't think another team would have him.

Answer 2

he cannot develop a bike. the only way he wins here is he isn't racing anyone. He sucks

Answer 3

no not yet, prove yourself in world superbike the go gp like russell did

Answer 4

Cant do any worse then the Snail Jacque or the other other French slug Randy.

Team Kwack : Hopkins (we know). West & R.L.H.

Should be a good set up. All English speaking after all!

Answer 5

All them Hayden's are great rider's. GP would be no problem for Roger~

Answer 6

He cant even challenge for a win, much less a championship in the lame AMA Superbike series, so NO.

Answer 7

In a word NO

Answer 8

He had a good race and comparing him to the other AMA racers in the USGP he did great.  I must agree, he will not do anything for the team to move it forward but he has a lot of potential and just like John Hopkins when he came up.....it cannot be ignored.  I think a team with Hopkins, Randy DP (I cant stand him but obviously he can qualify..just cant put it together in a race), and if they add a 3rd rider, RL Hayden would be highly competitive.  People assume since Laguna Seca is in the States these guys spend their whole lives racing on them.  Sure he has knowledge but not much more than an Italian on a track in Italy.  Alex Hoffman doesnt finish top 10  in every race in Germany does he?  For everyone that says he cant win....he is leading the AMA supersport (600) class and is top 6 in Superbike (1000cc) class.  The Kawasaki Superbike is nowhere near the Machine that the Suzuki's are in AMA Superbike.
