From RRW ( http://www.roadracingworld.com/news/article/?article0256 ):

"Three of my tyre choices for this weekend were our new compound and
unfortunately
two of them didn't work too well at this track so we only really had one choice
for
the race. It worked okay on the right but on the left I had no grip at all and
that
was a real problem. Every lap I was losing half a second through the two
left-handers
- I was getting slow on the first one and then everyone was passing me through
the
second one and there was nothing I could do. It's really disappointing because
I've
always gone good here, but today I never had the grip I needed. We turned the
bike
upside-down and everyone did their best, but it wasn't to be today."

Weird considering he was one of the few riders to post 37s on a race
tyre in qualifying.

Congragulations to Hayden for a good ride. It is the first time in
two years I have seen him race hard though.

Quite a credit to him to become world champion without really trying,
don't you think?
