Honda bought a full page ad in USA-Today to celebrate Nick Hayden's championship.

In case you missed it, the print copy of the weekend edition of USA Today—Honda purchased a full page ad in the main news section to celebrate Nick Hayden's MotoGP section.

As noted last week, the edit portion of USA-Today could scarcely be bothered to hurl a few words into their void about Hayden's massively popular championship win.

Rossi's loss of the championship was treated much like a national day of mourning in Italy, judging by the press reports.

A story on Hayden winning the MotoGP title was buried on one of the back pages of USA2Day.

Regardless, it's a cool ad anyway.

Update:


Yamaha posted this ad last week here in the US.

And from the good sportsmanship department:

Yamaha ran this ad last week here in the US.
