'Excited' Hayden expecting HRC boost.

Hayden, seeking his first win with the #1 plate, arrives in the Czech Republic looking to erase the disappointment of his home US GP and return to the podium form of the two rounds prior to Laguna Seca.

"Brno is a track I quite like - I think most of the guys do because it's pretty exciting with climbs and downhill sections, and even though the surface is getting pretty used it's still got good grip," he said. "It's also a track where horsepower is your friend with some big uphill sections and pretty long straights. So it will be exciting to see what HRC brings back to the party this weekend."

Hayden and factory team-mate Dani Pedrosa are also likely to try new parts during the two day test immediately following Sunday's race.
