Hayden looking forward to tenth MotoGP season

Nicky Hayden, the final 990cc MotoGP world champion but winless throughout the 800cc era, will start his tenth grand prix season under the floodlights at Qatar this weekend.

It will also be the American's fourth season at Ducati and, despite being denied valuable winter testing time due to a training injury, Hayden has confidence in this year's new 1000cc GP12 featuring an aluminium frame.

“This is my tenth season in MotoGP, and I'm looking forward to it. I have a really solid team and I think we have a good bike this year,” said Hayden.

“With all the injuries from Valencia and my training incident, preparation obviously hasn't gone exactly how you'd like it to, but Jerez was a good test for me to do a lot of laps at very close to 100 per cent.

“Qatar is pretty unique because we're racing at night, but the truth is, after you get rolling, you don't notice it by about the third of fourth corner.

“It really doesn't change too much with things like lines and bike setup, but as it gets later, you have to be careful with the condensation on the track, especially in Turn 2.”

Hayden led the damp second day at the final Jerez test, then claimed eighth (+1.13sec) on the last day of pre-season preparation.

“I'd like to be going into the first race closer to the front, but hopefully we can do some steps," he said. "I've basically only ridden around by myself on this bike, so it will be nice to get in the race and really see how it stacks up against the others.”

The #69 finished ninth at Qatar last year.

Hayden finished seven points behind team-mate Valentino Rossi last season, in eight overall, having also taken one podium finish. 

Jorge Lorenzo chasing first Qatar MotoGP win

Former MotoGP champion Jorge Lorenzo, who split the factory Hondas of Casey Stoner and Dani Pedrosa at Qatar 2011, has his sights set on going one better in the first race of the new 1000cc era at Losail on Sunday.

Lorenzo was the only Yamaha rider in the top five as he rode the wheels off his 800cc M1 in last year's event.

The Spaniard returns knowing that the 2012 Yamaha is a more competitive package, having set strong lap times in all three winter tests, although Stoner again looks to be the man to beat.

While he has never won a premier-class race at Qatar, Lorenzo has a strong record at the desert track, starting his four MotoGP events from the front row and always finishing on the podium.

“I'm very excited to finally make a race and see how we are compared to our rivals,” said Lorenzo. “Qatar was a good race for us last year but I think this season we have a slightly more competitive bike so I am hoping for good things to happen.

“Because of my hand injury [three rounds from the end of last year, at Phillip Island] it has been a long time since I was in a race so I am really excited for Sunday. I have been training a lot for this season; I'm feeling very good and very happy with the bike as well.”

Team manager Wilco Zeelenberg is eager to see how the new machine shapes up in a race situation.

“I'm really excited to go to Qatar, it's been a longer off season than usual,” said the Dutchman. “We had a great winter test season and we solved a lot of problems from 2011 so I'm curious to see how our package behaves under race conditions.

“Testing is one thing but finishing on a podium is the real test. Jorge is very fit and the M1 is ready to go. Let's clean the track for the first couple of days and then go racing!”

Lorenzo finished runner-up to Stoner last season, with three races wins. 

Stoner subdues chatter to set early Qatar pace

Casey Stoner and his Repsol Honda crew were forced to subdue 'huge' chatter from the world champion's RC213V on their way to setting the Thursday night free practice pace for the season-opening Qatar MotoGP.

The Australian was the only Honda rider in the top four, having moving ahead of Yamaha's Jorge Lorenzo on the twelfth of his 13 laps.

Stoner, who has battled chatter issues at the Sepang tests but not at the final pre-season outing in Jerez, said:

“The track tonight wasn't so bad, I expected the conditions to be much worse but in general it was ok. We started this evening with huge chatter issues and I was a little afraid we couldn't fix this, but after a few more exits we managed to reduce it to a more comfortable level.

“This is a positive point for the weekend but with such a short session and then nothing until tomorrow it's slightly strange. It was an ok start tonight, we finished quickest which is good, but we'll have to wait until tomorrow for some real track time and with the conditions a little better and see where we are.”

Team-mate Dani Pedrosa also experienced chatter problems during his first RC213V laps at the desert track, plus other complications that left the Spaniard in fifth place, 0.656sec from Stoner.

“There are some corners where we are struggling a lot with the chattering, especially in the area where you slide more, but it's like this and we will need to adapt the best we can.,” said Pedrosa.

“On my first exit I had an issue with the tyres and I had to stop in the garage; I felt a vibration in the wheels, so we decided to change both tyres. I lost some time there and at the end of the practice I went wide twice.

“Anyway, it's been good to go out there and get the feeling back at this track after a long time without riding here. Tomorrow, with two practices sessions, we will start working more with the chassis and electronics to improve and prepare for the race".

The Qatar action continues on Friday with two more practice sessions to prepare for qualifying on Saturday.
