CN HAYDEN TO REPLACE MILLER FOR ARAGON W orld Superbike Championship rider Nicky Hayden will return to the MotoGP paddock this weekend for Team Estrella Galicia 0,0 Marc VDS in place of the injured Jack Miller. Miller fractured his right hand in a high-speed crash at the Red Bull Ring in Austria and will miss this weekend's race as he attempts a longer recu- peration prior to the grueling flyaway races starting next month in Japan. "First of all I want to wish Jack a speedy recov- ery," Nicky said. "He is a buddy of mine and he is a rider I believe in a lot, so I hope he can get healthy as quickly as possible to show the high potential we all know he has got. He just needs to get his body right so he can perform. This is an un- usual experience for me because I've never been a stand-in rider before. But I have a good relation- ship with Honda and when the idea first came up they were behind it and Ten Kate gave me their blessing, so it is nice to go and help out another Honda team. For me it's just a chance to go and have fun. I'd probably be riding motorbikes anyway and I would definitely be watching the race on TV, so I might as well show up and have some fun. I know MotoGP is not a place that's always easy to have fun because the level is so high but I've got a lot to learn and it won't be a walk in the park. I haven't ridden the bike and there are different tires and electronics but I've got a lot of experience and I get another shot at MotoGP, which is great for me, personally. I want to thank Team Estrella Galicia 0,0 Marc VDS for the opportunity and Ten Kate and my sponsors who all made it happen and I will try and do them all proud." CN MotoGP hasn't seen the last of the Kentucky Kid!
