Don’t panic!
It’s Roger Lee Hayden, brother of current MotoGP world champion Nicky. He will ride a factory Ninja ZX-RR at the Laguna Seca as a wildcard rider.
Don’t worry, its not James
It’ll be reet funny if he beats james on the h*nda.
He has said that there is no rivalry, but its years since he was in a race with his brother. He is riding Kwaka number 3, and he has a pretty good history at Laguna Seca. Could be interesting to watch, and he will have shed loads of local support.
Also watch out for the Texas Tornado, sporting new livery on his bike for the weekend.
