I know it's early in the weekend, but WTF is Haga's problem?  He is the last Ducati on the timesheets.

RLH isn't doing too badly for it being a new circuit.

Maybe Haga lost his mojo after last year.  [roll]

maybe he needs to spend a weekend with Austin Powers?!?!?!

nori has always had come-from-behind weekends.  only lately, he's staying back there.

I can't help but wonder if Haga has an undisclosed injury. If not, maybe it's just time to put him out to pasture. Bayliss, please?  [evil]

Haga's grid positions in 2009 (in order):    13, 4, 3, 4, 5, 4, 9, 6, 6, 14, 1, 4, 5, 10

Haga's grid positions in 2010 (in order):    10, 18, 11, 15, 16

maybe it's the haircut.

I wonder how long Kawasaki is going to allow it's self to be humiliated and start building competitive race bikes again?

Go Cal and JT, even though you aren't as good as Spies (at least in this forum).  ;D

2011, they say.

Jonathan Rea is a nut...

in a very endearing way.

2nd race was awesome! Great job by Haslam!  [bow_down]

I thought Rea had it in the bag.

He still gets my 'ride of the race' award for his 2 for 1 passes.
Awesome!  8)

I was afraid that the scrapping between Rea and Haslam was gonna open the door for Biaggi in the last laps of race 2....awesome race!

Nori is a broken man.  There, I said it.  :'(

yeah.  that was rough.

agreed. He's done. Ben leaves his first broken man in his wake  [bow_down]

Looked into his eyes at the autograph session between races and yes the spark is gone :-[
