Nicky Hayden was once again on the receiving end of some bad luck in Sachsenring, experiencing difficulty with his rear tyre.
A bad rear tyre choice forced Nicky Hayden into the garage and ended his chances of a podium finish, but the 2006 World Champion didn´t give up the ghost and managed to pick up three points for his persistence.
`Today was a bit of a disaster, really. All weekend in the dry we had been going okay but conditions changed a lot for the race. I was actually glad it was raining because the bike has been working good in the rain recently, but the race turned into a disaster. The tyre choice wasn´t good and something also didn´t look right on the electronics, seems like it was a combination of problems. We came in and changed the rear tyre to a slightly different compound. Things were a lot better when I went out but I was right in the middle of everybody and I didn´t want to get in the way of people racing. We got a few points. Now it´s Laguna next weekend, so we´ll just keep pushing and hope to catch a break somewhere along the way.´
