AMA Chevy Trucks U.S. Superbike Championship. Where's Nickky Hayden??

Factual Questions
1

I haven’t been on top of things with the “AMA Superbike Championship” season only being two weeks old but, where the hell is Nickky Hayden and his RC51?
I’m guessing he’s hurt being he hasn’t started any of the first three races or, did he move on to the
“GP Racing Series” overseas (where the real competition and money is)?
Don’t get me wrong, I’m glad he’s nowhere to be found being I’m a Suzuki(Maladin)fan but Nicky is extreamly fun to watch and may have the most pure talentthen any other 19/20 year old to enter the sport in a real long time. He’d probably take another Championship if he was healthy and around.

So does anyone know where Super Boy is??

He’s riding GP this year on the Repsol Honda team with Valentino Rossi. Still good old number 69 though.

Damn that really sucks but it was inevitable that he would go that route. Who dosent want international Fame and Glory anyway! i was just hoping for one more year of racing in the USA.
He brought a lot to the AMA Superbike table and I’m sure he’ll be a contender out there as well.
He practicly gave the “#1” plate back to Maladin between Matts new bike (2 wins) and Nickkys absence!
I hope Bostrum does a bit of ass kicking this season as well.
Im on a ZX7-r right now!!
Thanks 4 the info!
Peace!!

He had a great race in Suzuka, starting 22nd or so, and finishing 7th, after an exciting duel with Colin Roberts for 6th place.
