INTERVIEW
P104
AMA SUPERBIKE CHAMPION JOSH HAYES
Hayes likes to go out to Perris Raceway and ride a dirt tracker every once
in a while. A few weeks ago, Sammy
Halbert brought out his YZ450F for
Hayes to spin laps on.
"I like to ride bicycles," Hayes and take something to another things that I work at and it seems
said. "I like to ride motocross. I level because I'm confident. I just to be something that's worked relike to ride a dirt track bike when feel good. And so those are the ally well for me.
I get the opportunity, and I like
to play tennis. I have a lot of activities that I really get into and I'm
lucky that a lot of those things
work hand in hand with motorcycle racing. One thing for me
I think is motorcycle racing is a
head game so it's all about confidence, right? If I put in the miles
on the bicycle and I'm riding the
motocross bike all the time and I
show up and I feel fit and ready
to ride, then I'm confident to go
out and learn something new
Hayes admires John Kocinski's
immaculate Honda two-stroke
dirt tracker.
