It wasn't a pass that I could see. It just looked Scassa parked it. Hacking was a coupla seconds faster a lap and was carrying tons more speed. He just ran into Scassa's back wheel and did one of those LEO moves where they spin out the rear of your car. Hacking chalked it up to "I don't know these guys or how they race." <shrug>
I just watched it again (I'm at home watching the 'Lil Freak. Racing during the day.
) Scassa is on the outside and side by side with Hacking and pulling ahead as they are leaned to the right. Hacking is on the inside. I'm not sure if it was part of a pass by Scassa or whether Hacking had been trying to an inside pass. Scassa gets ahead of Hacking, but not a full bike length. Hacking just keeps on the throttle. Scassa turns in more, but Hacking is already on the throttle on the inside and carrying much more speed and moving up on Scassa. Scassa's rear wheel hadn't cleared Hacking's front wheel (he would have cleared it if Hacking hadn't carried speed for the inside line, which was his). Hacking's front pushes Scassa's rear sideways and forces a highside.

I was there for all three days and I had really good access to the Xerox/Ducati team garage and hospitality at Boulder Motorsports where the Ducati team chef was cooking it up all weekend.
I gotta say that I was a bit of a Haga fan before this weekend. Friday morning we saw him at the Hilton in the lobby and his attitude was pretty much stone faced don't bother me. Later on that day in the hospiltality tent he ate his lunch sitting on a cooler behind a curtain, then after during an autograph session he was completely unengaged, wouldn't look at anyone, just stayed looking down autographing posters for a few minutes and left without acknowledging anyone. One person managed to get a picture with him and he wouldn't even smile for the camera. And this was the day before his high side...
Fabrizio on the other hand was great. That guy loves what he's doing and loves the fans, taking pics with them, autographs no problem, giving his pucks away, throwing his hat out and chasing umbrella girls lol.

How'd you get to talk to everyone?
1) for the most part, everybody was pretty approachable at the track.
2) i'm not afraid to walk up and talk to anybody.

Fabrizio is awesome you can tell he absolutly loves what he is doing and he is very entertaining. When they called everyone into the pits after Haga's off, he (Fabrizio) was pulling wheelies and playing for the crowd I found him very entertaining.
I was about 100 yards from the corner where Haga highsided and I am very surprised he was able to race. He hit very hard and it looked to me like he was out cold for a little bit.

Meh! So what??
Maybe he had a headache or a blazing row with his wife? Maybe he was hating his job this weekend? Maybe he was remembering his last trip to Miller?
Either way he's still an incredible racer and by all accounts usually pretty affable off track. It's not like there aren't plenty of other racers who are complete dickheads in and out of leathers. I for one hope like hell he wins this year, of all the guys out there he deserves it. Spies will be in GP's next year what does he care?

LOL, right!
Famous last words? Although saying that, if they change the rules as anticipated then I would guess there's no way in hell he would start in a satelite team (or his mum would let him for that matter!).

They've already changed that rule. But he could go to factory Suzuki, since they have no satellite team.
Then again, if Rossi is making noises about coming to wsbk... It may be even more the place to be than it already is

eh.. i'd have to look around. i forget where it was.
he basically said that he's unhappy with the rule changes and general direction of GP. that, and since he's won 8 GP titles on all 5 different types of bikes, there's really nothing left to prove there. with nothing left to prove, he's more interested in being somewhere that's fun.
he contrasted the GP world with the fun atmosphere and high level of competitiveness in wsbk and said that it's not completely out of the question that he'd go there, maybe 2011.

Can't say as I blame him, WSBK seems to be a blast for everyone.
Definitely great racing to watch, so good for us too.

I agree with him.
I think Dorna is messing it up too.
