August 01 2010 - Silverstone SBK STK Races
Typical unsettled British weather today in Silverstone, with mixed conditions throughout the day, for the tenth round of the Superbike World Championship. On a dry race track Roger Lee Hayden started from the fifth row of the grid while Matteo Baiocco started from the sixth. Race one was really unlucky for both team Pedercini riders. During the first lap Hayden was involved in a crash with Aussie Broc Parkes, ending the race in the gravel. Baiocco, near to the end of the race, was
forced to re-enter the box because of some set up and tyres problems. In race two after a quick start Hayden started to struggle with a lack of rear traction and due to this problem he finished the race in seventeenth position, close to the points zone. Baiocco fought for all the second race with Kawasaki official rider Akira Yanagawa, reaching the twentieth position.

Matteo Baiocco : "I'm disappointed because in the first race we had a bit of a problem with rear grip and I was forced to retire from the race. Before the second race my technicians worked on the rear suspension and during the first laps of the race the bike performed well. With worn-out tires I felt some vibrations coming from the rear wheel but not like in the first race. I was able to ride the bike better and to reach the twentieth position, fighting with Yanagawa until the last corners".
Roger Lee Hayden: "It was really disappointing to be out of the race one in such a fashion. When I overtook Parkes I touched with him and I crashed, fortunately without any physical consequences. Race two was really very difficult one for me. My start wasn’t so bad but when I tried to overtake several riders I didn’t feel enough grip on the rear wheel. I’m sorry because my team worked very hard during the full weekend and we didn’t reach the right results. I would like to thank all of them for their fantastic work here in Silverstone".
Dry Silverstone circuit on Sunday, despite some dark clouds. Danilo Petrucci lined up on the second row while teammate Leeson started from the sixth row of the grid on today’s ten lap race of the seventh round of the 2010 Superstock 1000 FIM Cup. A very quick start for Petrucci who ended in fifth position in the first few laps. Due to a lack of traction on the rear wheel the Italian rider lost some position in the middle of the race, ending in ninth position. Lesson fought in a group of three riders and he was able to recover some position reaching the seventeenth place.

Danilo Petrucci: "Today my start was pretty good but after few laps I lost some position because my bike start to slide a lot on the rear. In middle of the race I fought in a group of five or six riders and I worked hard to make some passes ending in ninth position. We still have some set up problems but overall I’m pretty happy for my ninth position and I want to thank my crew who has done such a wonderful job this weekend".
Chris Leeson : "I’m pretty happy because after a good start I was able to remain in a group of rider fighting for the points zone. I gave it everything I had but in mid race I was losing grip with the rear and I just could not run the pace of the guys in front of me. I had a bit of a battle with Tutusaus and Vivarelli and in the end it was impossible for me to do more than I did. All things considered I’m happy with my today race result and I want to thanks to the guys in the team who have done a great job".
