	Repsol Honda Duo Make Promising Start To Dutch TT 29 June 2007 The Repsol Honda Team enjoyed a positive day at Assen on Thursday as the first two practice sessions for the 77th running of the Dutch TT were completed in mercifully dry conditions. Nicky Hayden built on the progress made during practice at the British Grand Prix last weekend and once again figured consistently towards the top of the timesheets. The 25-year-old World Champion was third fastest aboard his RC212V in both one-hour sessions, finishing the day as the top runner on Michelin tyres and just 0.286s behind the pace-setter Casey Stoner. Assen is a track the American likes very much, and with good reason – the 4.555km (2.830-mile) circuit being the scene of Hayden’s dramatic last-gasp win in 2006 Tags: motogp, repsol honda, dani pedrosa, nicky hayden, makoto taneka …

	Pedrosa Second Quickest As 100th Grand Prix Beckons 19 May 2007 The Repsol Honda Team had a positive first day at the Le Mans circuit on Friday which saw the completion of the first two practice sessions ahead of Sunday’s Grand Prix of France. Dani Pedrosa finished at the top of the timesheets in the morning with team-mate and World Champion Nicky Hayden just 0.2s behind in third place. The afternoon saw Pedrosa edged off top spot by Marco Melandri’s Honda, while Hayden ended a rain-shortened session in ninth place overall and unhurt after a slow speed fall in one of the 4.180km (2.597 miles) French circuit’s many hairpin corners. Though Hayden didn’t improve his lap-time in the afternoon, the 25-year-old American remains confident for tomorrow. Tags: motogp, repsol honda, nicky hayden, dani pedrosa, makoto taneka …
