Comments
The fast bike
I think after Troy Corser was ruled out, they gave the fast BMW to Ruben. This explains a lot.
I kid.
Haga offcially out of it?
It's looking more and more like Haga's hope to win a title now that Spies is gone are also gone. I wonder how much that battle last year took out of him mentally and how much of his results or lack thereof are from problems this year with the bike.
crash with xaus at PI
i think more than the loss to spies (which surely deflated nori) it was the crash with xaus at the beginning of the season that wiped him out.
he even said that after that crash for the first time in his life he started riding scared. really sound like this might his last season. so so bummed for the guy, i've been a fan for 13 years (longest i've followed any one rider in any series).
and he was looking so good at the start of the weekend.
