Hayden stays top in final practice

Nicky Hayden continued his impressive run at Valencia by going fastest in Saturday morning's free practice session.

Hayden set a lap of 1m43.940s in cool but dry conditions to finish four tenths ahead of Shinya Nakano and Marco Melandri.

Rossi finished final practice in fourth ahead of Dovizioso, Vermeulen, Stoner and Pedrosa in an otherwise uneventful session.
