Michael Jordan Signs Roger Lee Hayden

Michael Jordan Motorsports has
announced that it has signed veteran rider Roger Lee Hayden, who
will compete next year in the AMA Pro Road Racing Championship.
Hayden is the youngest of three famous brothers, which includes
middle child Nicky, who races in MotoGP, and eldest Tommy, who will
compete against Roger next year.
Roger previously left the country to compete in the World Superbike
Championship, but his Kawasaki team was considered underfunded and
undermanned, affording him little success. Now back in the U.S.,
Hayden will team up with new addition Ben Bostrom on the NBA
Legend's team, which has developed into an impressive squad over
the past few years.
"I'm so excited to be a part of Team Jordan," said Hayden. "These
guys have a great crew and I'm excited to get on the bike as soon
as possible. I'm ready to show what I'm made of... It's also good
to be home, there's no place like home."
Hayden will be back on a Suzuki for the first time since 2000,
racing on a GSXR-1000. Last year the team had two Gixxers on the
track, one of which was sponsored by the National Guard and ridden
by Jake Zemke and the other by Aaron Yates. Both Zemke and Yates
are still signed to the team, but their future is unknown as it
seems the two bikes are destined for Bostrom and Hayden.
