Roger Hayden's pissed! (at RRW)

OK, just re-read it. He said that he was struggling on thursday due to the track being extremely "dirty." Next, he blamed his self-perceived woes on not being able to get the bike set up the way he wants it, and the "tired" motor after it was used in three tests.

Shouldn't a cbr 600 motor making only 120 rwhp make good power for longer than three tests?

IMO, despite what he says, he is not struggling too bad, and shouldn't have too much trouble making the top ten as long as he keeps it on two wheels. With a little good fortune, I think a podium is possible.

 

Right. Im sure he did a lot of miles during those tests. Still though, 120 hp is a very low level of tune. A lot of club racers get a whole season out of similarly tuned motors.

 

But they're not racing at the world level.....

 

Neither is Roger.





Cheap shot, I know. I'll stop now.

 

Very Cheap shot!

 

I just read the Sport Rider interview and his WSBK is slower than his 08 AMASB. it's a shame to see a talented rider lag behind based on equipment.

hopefully he's not holding hope for the 2011 ZX10r. none of the ZX10's have made good race bikes. i don't see why that trend will not continue next year. Hopefully Rog can get a good WSS bike or a good ride here in the states.
