Josh Hayes (Rockstar Makita Suzuki GSX-R1000 Superbike) says: "It was a good race, a lot of fun. I probably didn’t take every opportunity I had to jump in there; I tried to settle down a little bit and let Blake take the lead and tried to make him work hard. "At one point I got through and got a few good clear laps, and I thought I could get the pace a little faster than I did, but maybe I got a little lazy made a couple mistakes. It was hard to find the same rhythm I had in practice and qualifying; it seemed like the lap times dropped a little bit, but I thought we could go a little quicker than that, and unfortunately that didn’t happen today."Tommy Hayden (Rockstar Maktia Suzuki GSX-R1000 Superbike) says: "I’m ready for a new view. Those guys were riding really good … when they were basically side by side every corner, there’s only so much track left, so I just tried to hang in there. My bike was working well, and toward the end it seemed like I was getting close to Josh a couple times, but in the end I just couldn’t make it happen. "I thought I had a pretty good shot there on the last corner, but for whatever reason couldn’t carry the speed I thought I could up the hill to get by him. Luckily, tomorrow we’ll get another shot at it. It felt close."Photo credit: Geoffrey Siehr 2011 AMA Superbike: Road America Race 1 Results
