Hey, can anyone tell me who sang the "Star Spangled Banner" on Sunday before the start of the MotoGP race at Laguna Seca?
If you missed it, the guy forgot his words half way through, um'ed and ah'ed, said "Jesus" then picked it up again. | |

But seriously, it was nice to see Nicky Hayden pull one off, especially here. | |

I guess Rossi didn't see the need in pushing hard after Milandri went down
and also maybe he thought that it would be good for the sport if Hayden won in his home market,This would boost the excitement for future MotoGP races in the states.
