Ducata Corse announced today that Nicky Hayden has signed a one-year extension to this MotoGP contract through the 2010 season. Hayden’s progression with the Desmosedici has been relatively constant, and culminated with his podium finish at the Indianapolis event last weekend (where he held off a charge by Repsol Honda rider Andrea Dovizioso).
In the announcement, Ducati noted Hayden’s passion and determination to improve his performance, and the team looks forward to another year with the Stoner/Hayden combination in the paddock.
