WSBK » Ducati: Haga could race at Brno

"The Japanese rider is renowned for his ability to race on through pain, most notably last season when he shrugged off a broken collarbone to win both races at the Nurburgring just two weeks later."


Great to see that. I've just posted the same thing 20 minutes before on another thread.

Wow. Nori is a proper hard racer. Let's hope he can keep it on two wheels because surely he can't stand another tumble.

Although I'm a Spies fan, I cringed when I saw Nori Crash Sunday...... The way he walked away and with the talk of vertebrae injuries I feared the worst... This is definite good news and I hope he can ride near %100 to keep this great battle alive

Haga is Japanese samurai so hope he will be fit for Brno. All the best for him and quick recovery. Would be sad for championship without him.

I love Haga so don't anyone go getting mad at me but does it seem like since his off where he was hit by the bird he hasn't been the same?

Hope Haga is recovered enough to race at Brno. Spies is a quality rider but I really don't want him to win the championship just because Haga got injured. Come on Nori you need to win it this year.

Dave - please tell me you did not just type that!

Also, I agree about the bird comment. I think some of it is square peg in round hole syndrome though. Haga is not the type of rider to settle for third. He proved that in race #2. From here out expect the Samurai of Slide to be back in action. Except for Brno, where a 10th would probably be a good finish.

Get well Hagasan.

If you'd read the storys haga's fractured vertibrae was from an earlier of and seen's as he had a big of just after hitting the bird this or the high side at miller could be the cause i'm not surprised he hasn't been the same it aint a confidence thing but a pain thing

Hope Haga can fight on and win this championship, cos his one tuff racer!Maybe this is his usal midseason slump...and his gona clean up at the end? (Wishfull thinking,but it could b)

Get well soon "red power ranger" !!!

Best news I've heard all day. I was really upset when I heard the first reports of his injuries. Go Nori, you are my hero!
