Nicky Hayden:
"I'm really happy to be joining up with Michelin again next year. They were a key part in achieving my World Championship last year so they've got a really special place in my heart. Honda has a long history with Michelin and I think we can work hard this winter during testing and get back to winning ways in 2008. I know they're not going to take the events of this season lightly, they want to come back strong and I'm convinced they can help us take the fight to our rivals. It won't be easy, but Michelin is a great company."
