Roger Lee Hayden will ride for Pedercini Kawi in 2010. Didn't see that one coming. Hopefully they get some of the development benefits from the Paul Bird squad.

Hopefully Roger Lee impresses - seems he is a definitely a Kwaka man... Good luck to him!

I think Micj has more chance of comong back than Mladin to be fair!!
As for Hayden, that is a very brave move, those Pedercini bikes are notoriously old!! Though Badovini was quick on one and really should be in WSBK again, top talent that kid |

Well, not saying they are top bikes, but there were a few occassions where the Pedercini bikes were as quick as the Paul Bird bikes last year. Although, that may say more about the state of the factory team than anything.

Dont think Mladin will be back - would even be suprised if he did a "wildcard" at Phillip Island... Would be great way to say goodbye to aussie fans though!
Be good if he could take over the ASBK like Chad Reed did in Super X down here... |

Wasn't Hayden a Kawasaki factory rider in US, isn't he contracted to Monster? Can see that move as a real deal by Pedercini, and maybe they can get a propoer equipment and budget for 2010.

Yes he was a Kwak rider for Monster, he won the SUpersport series for them I think too
Maybe he is taking some Kwak money with him as they have pulled out of AMA (like any sane race team) But I somehow doubt their bikes will be as good as Birdy's Would also like to pass on my regards to Paul as his wife was savagely attacked over the winter, some fool did this acid thing and burned her arms etc. Truly awful thing for someone to do and wishing a speedy recovery |

Not sure if Roger Lee is still contracted with Monster, but he was last year.

Statement from DiSalvo:
http://www.roadracingworld.com/news/...?article=39176 Statement from McCoy: http://www.roadracingworld.com/news/...?article=39177 Sounds pretty sad from McCoy's perspective, and you have to feel for him. Looks like he was blind sided. As for DiSalvo, he is a better supersport rider than superbike rider in my opinion. It is quite fascinating to see two ex-AMA guys on the same team on the world stage. |

Disalvo is quick over 1 lap, but was soundly beaten by his team-mate Cardenas last year - can only wish him luck in 2010... Are Triumph more interested in $$$ than podiums, or they expect Chaz to be quicker this year than what McCoy wouldve been i guess!

Silverstone is 20 mins from me, as opposed to Donny which is 45. All is cool.

Will they use it?
The current F1 circuit seemed to produce good bike racing when it was used from 2002-2004 (particularly in 2002, when they didn't have the car park chicane), before they changed to the International in '05 Biggest shame of all though is that they didn't replace the round with Brands

Track will more than likely be the same as the new GP circuit, no stupid chicane, proper flat out Woodcote and some great outbraking areas.
Dont worry too much about viewing, its really not too bad, you can get very close in some places but if you wanna take pictures forget it!! You njeed decent gear to get close I reckon |

Yoshimura confirmed they will run three rounds: Assen, Imola and Magny Cours. Kagayama will run Assen and Magny Cours, and Sakai will run Imola. I really hope this morphs into a full time assault next year.
