May 31 2010 - United States grand prix - Salt lake City: second day qualifying
Second day of qualifying for Pedercini team Superbike riders in Salt Lake City on a sunny Miller Motorsports Park. In morning qualifying session Roger Lee Hayden reached the nineteenth place (1,50,806) entering his first Superpole of the season. Matteo Baiocco improved his best lap time compare with yesterday practices (1,52,691) but he obtained only the twenty first place, missing the Superpole.
Both riders worked hard with their mechanics during the afternoon free session. Hayden prepared his bike for the Superpole while Baiocco continued to made modifications to enable him to improve his performances. In his first Superpole outing Hayden unfortunately did not enter the second session obtaining only the twentieth position (1’50”596).
It was however a good experience for Roger and a nice present for his birthday. Fifth row for Hayden and sixth row for Baiocco in tomorrow’s 21-laps races starting grid.

Roger Lee Hayden :"I’m pretty satisfied about my today qualifying and Superpole. We didn’t improve as much as we wanted probably because we focused a lot on a race tyre and still the decision is up in the air. Anyway I entered my first Superpole and it was really fun. I didn’t use the soft tyre as well as I should, but it was a learning experience. I’m really excited to race tomorrow in front of my home country fans and I’ll try my best to reach a good result for them and for all my team".
Matteo Baiocco : “Today we have not got the results we were hoping for. This morning during the qualifying session I found for the first time a very good feeling with my Kawasaki ZX10R and I improved my best lap time. Unfortunately during afternoon free practice I suffered for some electronic problems on my bike and I was not able to continue to improve and to better understand this difficult track. I hope we can find a better set up for the race tomorrow during warm up. It's not ideal to start from the sixth row but nothing we can do now except make up places as quick as I can tomorrow”.
