If Shakey was given the chance to ride in place of Haga should Haga miss any races,you can believe Shakey would be a podium contender more often for sure,possibly a race winner i would say.In Italy,in the rain when things equal out amongst the differing bikes,shakey pulled away and showed the true rider he is.When he last rode a full factory Ducati he nailed the British championship on it in a direct and forthright manner.The bike he's on this year is not able to show what Bryne can really do though it has improved in the last 2 rounds.He's a great rider,end of story.He should be on a bike with full factory support.

This is not good news. Fingers crossed Nitro will be ok. The crash looked pretty nasty.
Wishing you a speedy recovery.

Poor Nori! Such an entertaining rider since his very first race, but he crashes way too much and has always paid the price. Ben Spies was obviously faster this season but Haga had a decent shot at the title, with his early season consistency. By his crashes at Monza, Miller and now Donington, Nori threw his chances away...

Also a broken scapula and wrist, plus breathing problems, according to MCN. Recovery time is expected to be up to 3 months.

Nasty injuries, what a shame. Hope he gets well soon. I seem to remember that Donington ruined Bayliss's 2007 campaign too, losing him a finger in the process. It can be a very cruel track.

Anyone else think it might be time to think about retirement?

Championship is over. Nonethless, Spies deserves the world title much more. And Yamaha too.

I am a Spies fan being from Texas,but I hate the fact that an awesome racer like Haga,had a crash as bad as this. Praying that you will have a fast and perfect recovery Nori. Racing needs riders like you for the sport,your a class act!!!!!!!
