You've got to feel for the nearly man of World Superbikes yet again - Noriyuki Haga.

He's come close so many times, and is one of the most exciting riders to watch, and missed out this year by only six points.

He deserves to win a title for the quality of his interviews alone, especially having heard Ben Spies after the second race today thank Yamaha for the 'shit equipment' they supplied him with this year (I think that was his odd way of congratulating them on how good it was !)

Watched it today , he was really struggling all weekend , i think spies meant it as stuff , not in a bad way.

good day all round today for bikings future , next season looks good in all the classes

next season looks good in all the classes

Will be interesting to see if JT can still make it in Superbikes after struggling for two years in the GPs

Agreed.

Shaky rode well today , camier was very impressive , wonder if he will get the aprilia seat , for next year.

JT was struggling again , looking forward to seeing what cal crutchlow will do , good season for brits coming up

Agreed.

plus another one....gutted for him, however, deserved by Spies:thumbup:

Really feel for Haga, the bike wasn't right at all during qualifying.
