Both Casey Stoner and his new teammate Nicky Hayden, making his official debut in Ducati Marlboro Team colors, were under the spotlight on Monday.

Im excited for Nicky. Hopefully this will give him the opportunity to be regularly competitive again.

There's no doubt Nicky has moved from questionable number two to definite nember two, but I'm hoping he'll outshine Stoner on a few occasions. Without the distraction and favoritism that made him miserable at Honda, he should be happy at Ducati.

ya'll said said exactly what I was thinking!
