Nicky Hayden Expected More than Eight

Nicky Hayden only set 1:21.734 for his best lap on the Laguna Seca qualifying session. The Ducati rider hope for better result than eight. After a foggy morning, the afternoon session was in a normal condition. Unfortunately, Hayden didn't manage to find the best setup.

"After the performance we had in the race at Mugello and then again in the test, we expected to be a lot closer to the front than this. It’s a bit frustrating to be over a second back, especially at a little track like this where even three or four tenths is a lot. Tonight we’ll decide if we want to make big changes for tomorrow or try to refine what we have, and the main priority will be to settle on a tyre. The morning warm-up might not be very useful if it’s foggy again, but we’ll see what tomorrow brings and give it our best shot."
