Like Troy Baylis who was 37years 7months old when he won the 2006 Motogp race at Valincia Hacking will turn 37 on monday and is riding better than any Kawasaki rider in the world this year.

Jamie Hacking is no Troy Bayliss.

Understatement of the day.

True, Roger hasn't been much competition this year.

On the bright side, Melandri wouldn't finish last.

i dunno. sure, logically looking towards the future and all hacking wouldn't be a good choice, but i'd still love to see it happen. i like the guy. hell, it's a kawi gp ride, not a repsol ride. why not?

Laconi or Tamada might be a good choice for Germany because of track knowlege but Hacking has 10 more podiums in the last two years than laconi and Tamada on the Kawasaki SBK and has many wins at Laguna seca in supersport racing.

Hacking is too old.

Your too old!

Because it happens so rarely, I'd much rather see someone on it that has somewhere to actually go other than retirement.

It should actually be, " You're too old!"

Would like to see it as well but not likely especially if you have someone like Melandri available and possibly a couple other candidates for next year. Plus you may have one or two 250 GP graduates coming up. Hopkins has a 2 year deal with Kawi so we're talking about Westie's seat right?
