Moto2: Roger Lee Hayden to race at Indy
Roger Lee𝓰 Hayden, younger brother of 2006 MꦑotoGP world champion Nicky, is to make his grand prix debut as a Moto2 wild-card at the Indianapolis round in late August.
Roger Lee is currently taking part in his first full World Superbike season with Pedercini Kawasaki♐, but has been signed to ride a Moriwaki chassis - the same design as leads t♕he inaugural 2010 Moto2 title chase with Toni Elias.
"This is a great opportunity for me to race in front of my home crowd at a𝔉 MotoGP event," said Hayden. "The Moto2 class is really competitive and I'm looking forward to j♏umping in the middle of it."
The entry is being backed by American Honda, with 1993 500cc world ꦓc🉐hampion Kevin Schwantz to act as team manager.
"It's an honour for me to be chosen as team manager," said Schwantz. "We've been using CBR600RRs for some time now at our schools, and I've ridden a Moto2 bike and it's very good. I watched the ꧟first three Moto2 races and I expect the raciꦚng to be just as good at Indy."
The team will be staffed by te🃏chnicians from Erion R🐟acing technicians, American Honda's premier support team.
Peter has been in the paddock for 20 years and has seen Valentino Rosꩲsi come and go. He is at theꦚ forefront of the Suzuki exit story and Marc Marquez’s injury issues.
