Roger Lee Hayden to Kawasaki World Superbike

This article comes from AsphaltandRubber.com

Roger*Lee Hayden, younger brother to former MotoGP World Champion Nicky Hayden, has signed with Team Pedercini for the 2010 World Superbike season. Roger Lee rode the Kawasaki ZX-6R to an AMA Supersport Championship, so theoretically he should feel at home again on Team Green satellite team in WSBK. However, the liter-bike class has proven difficult for the younger Hayden.*In his three years on the Factory Kawasaki AMA Superbike team, two of those years were shortened by serious crashes.
This doesn’t bode well for Kawasaki, which has had a wheelbarrow full of problems in their WSBK program. However, after pulling out of MotoGP and other national level racing series, the rumor-mill pegs the Japanese manufacturer as putting the majority of its racing resources into World Superbike. This could make 2010 the come-back season for Kawasaki in WSBK, and with some good luck a pivotal season for Roger Lee Hayden as well.
I have experience on the Kawasaki Superbike, so that does not make everything completely new, said Hayden. It’s a big difference from what I did last year, but I’m ready and looking forward to taking that next step.
That next step starts at the end of January when Hayden takes to the ZX-10R at WSBK’s testing in Portimao.

Congrats to Rog. Hopefully he gets on another bike though. I still don't see the Kawi being a good bike this year.

Ya Rog can ride the wheels of the thing but kawi doesn't seem to be competitive in the superbike class. Should be another interesting year and thats what counts IMO.

Good on him.
Glad to see him get something he deserves. Even though it won't be the fastest thing
in the paddock. Roger has always been an entertaining rider to watch.
That's great news and I'm happy to see he is out of the DMG mess even though I won't be able to see him at Mid Ohio this year.

The way the latest article on SBP read, Hacking and family are sitting this year out as thier new little one is due in March. I'm all for RLH playing in the "World" league, but would love to see "Hacker" on a competitive team there as well, if for no other reason than his wife would be in tow... Look out Umbrella Girls...
