May 17 2010 - Kyalami: second qualifying day
Warm and sunny weather condition today in Kyalami for the second qualifying day for Pedercini team Superbike riders. This circuit is a completely new experience for both Baiocco and Hayden and yesterday they spent their full practices to better understand this difficult and technical track. In today morning qualifying session Roger Lee Hayden (1’40”981) worked hard with his team to solve some set up problems, ending in twenty first position. Team-mate Matteo Baiocco (1’41”526) kept struggling with the settings of his Kawasaki ZX 10R and finished the day in twenty second place. Both riders missed the Superpole by less than one second. In afternoon free practice both Pedercini team riders worked with their technical staff to improve their bikes setting in order to be ready for tomorrow’s twenty four lap races.
Superbike qualifying 2 : 1) Smrz (Ducati) – 2) Fabrizio (Ducati) - 3) Crutchlow (Yamaha) – 4) Rea (Honda) – 5) Haslam (Suzuki) - ..…21 Hayden (Kawasaki) - 22) Baiocco (Kawasaki)
Superbike Superpole : 1) Crutchlow (Yamaha) - 2) Toseland (Yamaha) - 3) Checa (Ducati) - 4) Fabrizio (Ducati) - 5) Haslam (Suzuki)…….21 Hayden (Kawasaki) - 22) Baiocco (Kawasaki)
Roger Lee Hayden :" “I am disappointed with my twenty first position on the grid. I really pushed hard today to get the best out of the bike, but I still miss the absolute pace to get a good result. The adjustments we’ve made showed some improvements, and we managed to be faster than yesterday. Unfortunately I missed the Superpole for less than five tenths. I am not starting the races from a position where I want to be, but in tomorrow morning warm up we will make some more adjustments for the races and I am confident I can get into the points".
Matteo Baiocco :“I’m really disappointed that I was not able to enter the Superpole. We’ve spent the day trying to solve the same issues that we suffered from yesterday, as the bike is still causing me problems on the uneven track surface. This afternoon we work to find a solution and we’ll work also in tomorrow morning warm up as we still have more work to do in order to be competitive for the races. Tomorrow I’ll be starting from the sixth row and it won’t be easy, but I’ll do my best and I hope to reach good results”.
