He had hoped to ride the bike at the Sachsenring but a shortage of parts meant only team-mate Valentino Rossi did that. Hayden beat the nine-time world champion but says Laguna Seca is now getting bumpy and isn't an ideal place to be doing back-to-back tests.
"We're going to send both bikes and we might try one of the new ones because we're not really getting anywhere. At the the end of the day, Vale and I are basically the same, I don't think there is a whole lot of difference but he definitely feels there is more potential with the new one and so do the engineers. The sooner we get going on it the better it will be for the end of the year and the start of next," said the American.
"We will send them but I don't know which one to ride. The only way to be clear is to go with two of each, not one of each so we can do a back-to-back test. Laguna is not an easy track to be testing bikes though but is a track I love. The gap to the front is a lot, I got beat in Germany by 27 seconds and I was riding hard. Pushing hard to get beaten by that much definitely stings."
"We can try both on Friday and for Saturday have two the same but the problem is if I leave the pits on the new one and I don't like it I have used another engine. We have got a lot of stuff going against us and it's not an ideal situation."

@JakartaForumJakartaForum Stoner: Long way to go... - crash.net Casey Stoner has expressed a disappointment with his start to the 2011 Czech Republic Grand Prix at Brno, claiming he isn't happy with various issues on the Repsol Honda. The Australian says he is suffering with a 'vague' front-end and a lack of rear grip, though he was still fast enough to land second in both free practice sessions, behind team-mate Dani Pedrosa, but ahead of key rival Jorge Lorenzo. Nonetheless, having ended his weekend at Laguna Seca in perfect style, Stoner is hopeful a solution to the problems on the RC212V can be found in time for qualifying. “Today hasn't been that positive to be honest, we seem to be having a similar start to our weekend...

YAMAHA MOTOGP SNAPSHOT | KENNY ROBERTS
Yamaha MotoGP Snapshot | Kenny Roberts Yamaha clinched their first premier class world championship in 1975 and a few years later a fiercely talented Californian placed the United States on the Grand Prix map from 1978-1980 with three consecutive titles to make Yamaha a major player in the 500cc MotoGP category.Roberts' legacy is felt on several levels but was concreted in two ways. The first is through his feel and sensitivity for machine set-up that honed Yamaha's two-stroke technology and through subsequent upgrades (Deltabox frames) and models until Yamaha adopted its historic V-twin engine configuration.Yamaha essentially became a world-force in racing thanks to the Modesto-based athlete. The second is the impact he had on style, race-craft...
