Roger Lee Hayden debuted this year on the international racing scene with the Team Pedercini and after three rounds of the World Superbike championship, Jonathan Green of OnTheThrottle TV got around to interview the American rider at Assen to see how he’s faring.
Hayden talks about his team, about Ben Spies and how his fellow countryman is helping adjust to living in Italy, AMA racing and his brother Nicky and where he would like to be two years from now.
At Assen Hayden finished in 19th in Race 1 and 16th in Race 2 and here’s what he had to say after the races:“Race one wasn’t my best race.
I made some small mistake and I was not able to find the right concentration and the good rhythm.
For race two my technicians made some modification to my bike’s setting and I was able to make up some places from my grid position.
It’s been a difficult weekend and it’s been clear we didn’t have the pace of the front runners, but we’ve found out how to make the bike better and this is very important in view of the next races”.
