Roger Lee Hayden looking forward to MotoGP debut

19 July 2007

Nicky Hayden's younger brother, Roger Lee Hayden, will join the Kawasaki MotoGP team this weekend at the American Grand Prix at Laguna Seca. Roger Lee has valuable experience and knowledge of Laguna and, having tested the ZX-RR in Japan earlier this month, is looking forward to seeing what he can do on it in Sunday's race.

It will be a tough number for Hayden, who will also compete in the AMA Supersport race on the same day, but no doubt he will enjoy plenty of support from the US fans to spur him on. "I'm really looking forward to riding the bike again at Laguna; it's a track I know pretty well and I've had a lot of luck here in the past," Hayden said. "This weekend's a big challenge to learn more about the ZX-RR, and about riding in a top level race, but I don't have any big expectations and I'm not putting too much pressure on myself.

"It should be a great weekend, though, as I always get lots of support from the fans in the AMA Superbike and Supersport races and I'm sure they'll be cheering for all the Americans on the grid in MotoGP."
