Superbike riders interviews
Matteo Baiocco:"I like Imola circuit also because it suits my riding style well. I hope we can go there strong, not having to learn the circuit and find very soon the best set up for my bike. I really enjoyed riding on this track also if there are a few bumps. I would like to get some good results in the last four races of the season, so that I can show my real potential and I hope I can battle for points both in Imola and Magny Cours."
Roger Lee Hayden: "It’s hard for me to say something about Imola circuit because this will be my first time riding there. I just hope that my machine works well so that I can concentrate on learning this new track. I have to do my best in Imola because it’s one of my team’s home races and I know we have the opportunity to reach a good result. The plan is the same as every race weekend, try to get it all working well in practice and qualifying and then take the best possible results in the races."
