Nicky Hayden i Dani Pedrosa su vozači za iduću sezonu HRC-a.

Hayden, koji je pobjedio kući na stazi Laguna Seca,je spreman i četvrtu godinu da vozi za official Honda team i da pokuša da ugrozi Valea.

“The second half of 2005 has been good for me, not just the win at the US Grand Prix, but a general consistency in qualifying and the races has appeared and I really feel like I’ve taken a big step forward in ’05,” said Hayden.

The Kentucky Kid will team-up with Spanish sensation Dani Pedrosa, who will make his debut in the premier class after taking three consecutive titles, one in 125cc, two in 250cc.

“My whole career has happened so quickly and now, finally, the most important challenge is ahead,” said the 20 year-old Spaniard. “I’m very confident in the work HRC is doing and in the team we have in place for 2006.


HRC Managing Director Satoru Horiike commented: “This exciting and youthful Repsol Honda team offers HRC a fantastic challenge for the years ahead. In Nicky and Dani we have two of the best riders in the world and everyone within Honda and Repsol is excited about the 2006 World Championship.”
