I'm sure he's happy...But given the reason for his chance...I'm sure he'd put it aside if it meant Simo was still with us.
Over the moon is a little over the top IMO

I'm sure he is stoked. I'm stoked for him. Hayes is a cool guy and I get the feeling he truly enjoys racing motorcycles.

Its not even the fist time this has happened. Remember he got Craig Jones seat in WSS after his unfortunate passing.

From KSgregman's post... "I also wanted to be in Valencia next week to give my support to MotoGP, but it is not going to be possible because of the surgery I need on my left arm. The top of my left humerus bone has got multiple small fractures but the cartilage that is around the top of the bone has been pulled off. The surgery will anchor the cartilage back to the bone but there is no nerve damage, so I should be 100 per cent in about four weeks" - Colin Edwards
