Nicky Hayden

It is a big challenge to go back to Laguna for the race in my home country, but I am really dying to enjoy myself there. Right now I have a lot less pressure on me, compared to last year, because in 2006 I went to Laguna as the points leader in the championship and I really felt that I had to win or I would send the wrong signals to my rivals in the title fight. I was the favourite and I had a lot of pressure on me to win. There is still some pressure this year, but not so much as last year. The truth is that racing at home is not the big advantage that it was for me. We have had two races there and the other riders have got the hang of the circuit. We do not speak of fans here. Even so, I like the circuit and I will do my best to get that third consecutive victory in front of my compatriots, in my own country. Things have been difficult this year but we have had a couple of decent results in the last two races, so I am going to fight to win this one too. We have made some improvements to the bike lately and I have had bettter sensations than at the start of the season. The competition is really tough in MotoGP and nobody is here to dress up the points situation, but I feel that I have nothing to lose  so I am simply going to go out to win this weekend.
