Nicky Hayden (and Valentino Rossi) have an excellent wet setup for the GP12. Hayden set 2'19.405 on FP1, and marked as the second fastest behind his teammate Valentino Rossi. On the FP2, Hayden set 2'05.353 on fourth, 0.5 behind the leader.
Hayden said, "We know our bike really likes wet conditions, and the team was obviously quite good this morning. With the rain shower this afternoon, we didn’t really get to do a lot of dry laps, as the time went by pretty quickly. The track was actually pretty good as far as grip was concerned, although it was really windy out there."
He continue, "We learned a couple of things, but we still have more work to do. We need to improve the transmission ratios a bit in some spots and work to get some more stability, because the side winds made it very difficult in the high-speed parts."
