Roger Lee Hayden
” I am really happy to be participating in the World Superbike Championship next year with the Pedercini Team. It has always been my goal to race in a World Championship Series, and now I have the opportunity. It's a big difference from what I did last year, but I'm ready and looking forward to taking that next step. I have experience on the Kawasaki Superbike, so that does not make everything completely new. It should will be fun learning and racing at the new circuits and of course we have a home round in Salt Lake at Miller Motorsports Park. My first test will be at Portimao towards end of January and I can't wait to get back on
a bike again!"
