Nicky Hayden 在本週末將回到去年讓他品嚐到驚奇的冠軍勝利現場－
瓦倫西亞。  
Nicky Hayden is relishing a return to the scene of his shock 2006 MotoGP
title victory this weekend at Valencia.

少數人或許忘了去年的驚嘆號結果，當美國人顛覆了對 Rossi 八分差距，
舉起他的冠軍王冠。
Few will forget the emotional conclusion to last season, when the
American overturned an eight-point deficit to Valentino Rossito lift his first
world title.



但是 今年已是遠遠不及去年，所有的 Honda　車手，而 Hayden 的隊友 Dani
Pedrosa ，是唯一一個騎著 RC212 V 贏得一場比賽的人。  
But 2007 has been far less successful, for all the Hondariders, with
Hayden's factory team-mate Dani Pedrosa the only RC212V competitor
to win a race.



Nicky 已經勉強接受17場比賽最好成績三次都第三名，來到瓦倫西亞，而且
差不多沒有任何事比得上最後一次掛著1號車牌去贏得比賽。  
Nicky has had to settle for a best of third (three times) in the 17 rounds
leading into Valencia and would give just about anything to win on his final
race with the #1 plate.

這將是一個艱難的建議，但是 Hayden 過去在瓦倫西亞過去兩年都站上頒獎台，
且兩次都很享受挑戰西班牙賽道。
That will be a tough proposition, but Hayden has finished on the Valencia
podium for the past two seasons and enjoys the challenge of the twisty
Spanish track.

在來到瓦倫西亞的途中，我相當不能相信它是今年最後一場比賽，
26 歲的他說。
"Well here we are on our way to Valencia and I can't quite believe it's
the last race of the year," said the 26-year-old.

我真的很期待這周末，但事實上我並不快樂今年即將結束，因為我們在一些
比賽裡已經有相當好的速度，而在某些方面，我希望賽季重新開始，不是結束。
"I'm really looking forward to this weekend but actually I'm not that
happy the season is nearly over because we've had decent pace in the
last few races and in some ways I wish the season was starting again, not
ending.

很顯然，在賽季還沒完全結束前，當我喜歡上的時候，而我希望能有多些比賽
比。
Obviously the season hasn't gone exactly as I'd have liked and I wish
there was some more races to go.

然而，我真的期待回到瓦倫西亞，因為去年這裡的一切都在我心中有個特別
的位置。  
"Nonetheless, I'm really looking forward to going back to Valencia
because the circuit has a special place in my heart with everything that
went down there last year.

在這方面，我僅僅喜歡賽道，而它坐落在如此緊密的區域裡，他確認。
On top of that I just like the track and the way it's laid out in such a tight
area," he confirmed.

它是我在過去已經跑得很順，毫無疑問，它是今年我們最後的機會，因此我們會
嘗試所有的風格。  
"It's a track I've gone well at in the past and certainly it's our last chance
of the season so we'll try to go out with style.

這將是今年我的最後一場比賽用1號車牌出賽，因此我將一定一如往常的努力。
It'll be my last race with the number one plate this year so I'll definitely
be pushing as hard as always.

老實說，我不能等候週末開始。。。”
To be honest I can't wait for the weekend to begin..."

Hayden 將在這周末的瓦倫西亞和相差兩分的同胞
Colin Edwards 爭奪年度第八。
Hayden will start the Valencia weekend just two points behind countryman
Colin Edwards and eighth place in the final world championship standings.
