The Kawasaki riders are being joined this weekend by AMA Superbike and Supersport regular Roger Lee Hayden. Hayden used his track knowledge to take the Ninja ZX-RR around the circuit with enthusiasm, regularly running times in the top ten. He ended the day in 15th position after showing the sixth highest speed of the second session: 251.5kmh.
Having only ridden the Kawasaki for one day prior to this MotoGP event, Hayden impressed the Kawasaki team and his home fans alike with his performance. "Things went pretty well," said Hayden. "I'm still learning so much about the bike but managed to go faster every time I went out, which was my aim, so I'm glad about that. All in all, I think the first day went pretty well and we're just getting some ideas to maybe make the bike a bit better for tomorrow.
"There's been a bit of chatter, and a few little things to sort out which may help me go a little faster, but it's good, getting used to working with the crew: they're doing a great job and making me feel really welcome. I had a lot of fun out there and I just want to do my own thing. I don't want to get in anybody's way."
