Rain has washed out Nicky Hayden's two-day Mugello MotoGP test with the former MotoGP world champion only able to do a minimum number of dry laps but he also put in some wet laps.

The test had been to try and make up for the track time he lost due to injury earlier in the year but it wasn't to be with conditions today described as 'unmanageable' by the Kentucky rider.

“We came here looking to make up time lost due to my missing the Valencia test and having limited time at the Malaysia and Jerez tests, but it was pretty much a wash. It’s a shame because Ducati gave me the opportunity to come and had a race-spec GP12 here, along with my whole team," said Hayden.

"Yesterday we made two exits with slicks and also did a bit of riding in the wet, but today the conditions were wet but also cold and windy, completely unmanageable. With two back-to-back races coming up, there wasn’t much to be gained by risking testing in the wet. I’ve learned during my career that you can’t control the weather, so there’s no need to complain. We’ll just look forward to the race at Jerez.”
