This is too good not to share.

We stumbled across the complete video for the BBC’s MotoGP season review for 2009 – and you can watch it below (well, for as long as it stays online at least).

All the MotoGP races and highlights are covered from 2009, so sit back and enjoy all the action (the only downside is Charlie Cox’s commentary, but you can turn the volume down).

Nicky Hayden certainly worked hard on PR for this year’s Indianapolis MotoGP – not only was he drumming up support in the week before the race on local radio and TV shows, but he also took part in multiple events during the course of the weekend. Once such event saw Nicky Hayden return to his dirt track roots as he took a Ducati Flat Tracker out for a few laps at the 2010 Lucas Oil Indy Mile.

This is amazing video footage of Nicky Hayden riding the Indy mile – when he flies past the camera the sound and speed is breathtaking.

Nicky Hayden looked to be having a strong weekend at his home MotoGP at Indianapolis – he had his contract at Ducati renewed, he got on the pace early, he scored a front row start for the race, so far so good. Unfortunately for Nicky any chances of a podium finish were dashed when he found himself losing a knee slider early in the race after a drain cover ripped it from his leathers. Despite this, Hayden still managed to finish the race in 6th position.

Casey Stoner also had a torrid time and crashed out on the eighth lap.

Hayden and Stoner look back on the Indy MotoGP below:

NICKY HAYDEN, Ducati Team – 6th
“I still can’t believe what happened – I am so disappointed. I was being careful over the first few laps because in that heat the track was very greasy. I lost the front slightly on the third lap and caught my left knee on a drain cover on one of the kerbs, right where the knee slider attaches to the velcro. There are so many left-hand corners here… from that point on I had to take it really steady, I couldn’t push anywhere and finished up with a huge hole in my leathers. I am incredibly disappointed because we had to the pace to put in a performance today.”

CASEY STONER, Ducati Team – DNF
“I am very disappointed – it was a nothing crash but obviously it was enough to leave me out of the race. I know a lot of people have had front end crashes but apparently here at Indianapolis we have gone back to the situation we were in at the start of the season and we’ve struggled to find front-end feel in the corners. It is a real shame because we had good pace and I think we could have been on the podium.”

VITTORIANO GUARESCHI, Team Manager
“What happened to Nicky is really incredible but he did brilliantly to finish the race in that situation and finish it so well. I am gutted for him because he was in competitive shape and missed out on a possible podium. Casey crashed just at the point when the tyre he had chosen was coming up to its optimum level and he was recovering well but lost the front. It is a shame because after five podiums in a row he could have had another one here.”

Hot conditions, a bumpy track, and a lack of grip all caused issues for Hector Barbera at the Indianapolis MotoGP – despite this, Barbera still managed to finish in the top 10 after a late duel with Loris Capirossi.

Hector Barbera reflects on the Indy GP:

Héctor Barberá:
“This result is fairly positive, but I can’t say that I am entirely satisfied because I didn’t have much fun out there. I was having front end problems right from the get-go; on each corner I had the steering tuck in and I felt like there was no grip. I had to be very focused and pay attention to every turn in order to stay upright, because it would have been very easy to have crashed. It’s strange, but the heat did not help us at all, as I felt comfortable during the morning warmup and thought that a good race was possible. When the temperatures rose it took too much out of the bike. Perhaps it is due to a small change in the engine, but we will look at it in detail this week in order to be ready for Misano -where it will also be hot. It isn’t logical that we should suffer with this. In any case, it is the first time that this has happened to us and we can’t be too displeased with a return to the top ten. Next week we should be in peak condition again.”
