September 02 2010 - SBK STK Nurburgring preview
The eleventh round of the HANNspree Superbike World Championship and the eight round of the Superstock 1000 FIM Cup will take place in Nurburgring circuit in Germany over the weekend of September 3/4/5. The Nurburgring, known as simply "the Ring" by enthusiasts, is the name of the famous motorsport race track. The construction of the original Nurburgring track began in September 1925 and the track was completed in spring of 1927 around the village and medieval castle of Nürburg in the Eifel region. Primarily due to its extraordinary length of over 22 km. and the lack of space due to its situation on the sides of the mountains, the Ring was unable to meet the ever-increasing safety requirements and in 1981 works began on a 4.5 km long new circuit which was built on and around the old pits area. The new Nürburgring was completed in 1984 and it was built to meet the highest safety standards.

Pedercini Team’s riders are looking forward to continuing the development of their ZX10RR Kawasaki at this weekend’s eleventh round of the World Superbike championship event at the Nurburgring circuit in Germany. Matteo Baiocco is hoping to put the last races at Silverstone behind him and to obtain better results at the Nurburgring. Roger Lee Hayden raced in Indianapolis only a few days ago, reaching the seventeenth position in the Moto2 World
Championship race. Both riders are eager to race in Germany.
Matteo Baiocco: "I’ve had a good holiday, but now I’m really looking forward to racing again. Nurburgring is an historical circuit and I like it also it was not an easy track for me to learn. In Silverstone I felt a definite improvement in the bike and I know that my technicians will work hard to give me the same feeling also at the Nurburgring. I want to reach some good results in the last three races this year and I will try as hard as I can to achieve them".
Roger Lee Hayden: "I have never been to the Nurburgring before but I'm looking forward to racing there. We'll have to do as many laps as we can in practice to understand the new track and find the right setup for the bike. The Moto2 race in Indianapolis was not so easy but my team helped me a lot and made the whole experience a lot of fun. Now it’s back to business at Nurburgring, another new circuit but also a new challenge and fresh motivation for me. I’m really looking forward to riding there. With the improvements we've done during the last races I am confident we can make a head start and get some good results this weekend."
