Nicky Hayden is a go for Friday's practice session for the Polini Grand Prix of Japan, although the American will not be fully recovered from his Qatar highside. Hayden still has several stiches from his practice session crash at Qatar, but they should not affect his ability to ride hard on Sunday.

"I got checked out again at home; no disrespect to the hospital in Qatar, but it's always good to get your own doctor and people you trust to look you over," said Hayden. "I went today to get the two stitches in my chest taken out, but the doctors said that it wasn't ready yet so we'll keep those in. They don't bother me at all, apart from itching sometimes."
Whilst the qualifying hit undoubtedly affected his performance at Losail, the Ducati Marlboro rider believes that he is starting in near-perfect condition this weekend, aided by the location of his back bruising.
"I'm not at 100% for some things, but the motorcycle position is no problem for me. My sleep wasn't affected, and being in my own bed certainly helped. It just shows how much things like back braces, helmets and boots have progressed that I can take a crash like that and be OK."
