June 01 2010 - Standings Salt Lake City races
A dry track and warm conditions at the Miller Motorsport Park in Salt Lake City today for the seventh round of the World Superbike championship.
Due to the results achieved during yesterday qualifying sessions and Superpole, Hayden started from the fifth row and Baiocco from the sixth. In race one not a good start for Baiocco who was forced to re-enter the box due to a faulty tyre. The team’s technicians changed the tyre in few minutes and Matteo was able to rejoin the race, ending in eighteenth position. Hayden obtained the sixteenth place close the points zone.
In race two Hayden crashed near to the middle of the race when he was fighting with two Kawasaki official riders Vermeulen and Sykes. After a quick start Baiocco didn’t find the right feeling with his bike and so he preferred to end his race to avoid a possible crash.

Roger Lee Hayden :" I am really disappointed with today's results. Starting from the last rows always makes life difficult, but in the second race, after the first few opening laps, the bike felt great and I was able to make some fast laps. During the middle of the race I had a bit of a battle with Vermeulen and Sykes and I tried to overtaking them but I crashed and I was not able to restart. I’m sorry for the team and I want to thank them for setting things up so well on the machine. We still have some set up problems but overall I’m sure that during the next weeks my team will continue to work on the bike’s setting in order to be ready for next Misano races".
Matteo Baiocco : “Starting from the sixth row was always going to be tough for Superbike races. In race one my start was not so good and near to the middle of the race I began to have problems with my rear tyre. I couldn’t ride my bike as I would have liked. I re-entered the box where my mechanics changed the tyre very quickly and I was able to rejoin the race also to test my bike thinking to the second race. For race two we changed the tyres and we tried a different setting. My start was pretty good and I worked hard to take my way forward, but I was not able to find the right feeling with my bike and I couldn’t push any further. I’m disappointed with my results this weekend and I’m eager to improve my results in the next round.
