That’s right people. One of America’s golden boys is stepping away from his MotoGP obligations to ride in the X-Games this weekend in the Supermoto event. So if you needed any motivation to watch it, here you go:
From Racer X Online: “Nicky tested the bike several times this week and promptly posted lap times at Adams Cart Track in Riverside, one of the local Supermoto tracks, that were a full second quicker than the previous fastest lap at that track. Nicky followed that up with some laps alongside his new teammates at the Honda supercross test track, where he was a little less comfortable. Still, Hayden will be a favorite when the final blasts off the line for the Supermoto final this Saturday at 4:00pm PST. Watch it live on ESPN.”
Damnit, I need Tivo! I won’t be home at that time.
