Haga: I couldn't save it.
After struggling through qualifying, Red Bull Yamaha's Noriyuki Haga found enough speed to produce the fourth fastest time during the race - while challenging the likes of Biaggi and McCoy for a podium finish.
It was a valuable experience for the MotoGP 500 rookie, but it eventually came to an end when he lost the front of the #41 Yamaha while entering the Esses on the tenth lap, he was lying in an impressive third at the time.

"I'm disappointed," said Haga, who crashed heavily three times over the GP weekend. "I did the best with what I had on the day but when I hit the white line there was nothing I could do to save it."
