Better late than never, but here’s the Malaysian GP Results! Nicky took a great 5th on a wet track, where Valentino Rossi took his 9th world title!
I had a great time at Sepang, will post more on that later!

Nicky’s Australian Grand Prix was over before it began after Yamaha’s Jorge Lorenzo nudged Hayden’s Ducati in the run to the first corner of the Phillip Island track, forcing the Kentucky Kid to run wide and miss the turn, rejoining the race way down in 15th after a lengthy trek across the gravel.
He ended up coasting his bike home to take 15th position, and one point, to hold on to 14th in the championship. Hayden has been taken out in the first corner too many times this year, and we’re hoping he has relatively easy starts for the next two grands prix!
