He's been showing up on the podium and racing very well lately. Now, he's gotten his first provisional pole in MotoGP. It would seem that a certain amount of team momentum is building for the young Kentuckian.

Granted, provisional poles don't mean much in the grand scheme of things, but this has been a year of many firsts for Hayden, and it's not unreasonable to expect that he could end up on the top of the box before the season ends. We'll see.

Everyone enjoy the weekend. I'll see you Monday.
