MCN Sport: First look at Haga on 2009 Xerox Ducati

[SamUra101]

Man i wish i could see him when he was rolling with ducati...

[thelawnguys93]

i would do anything to learn how to ride like that

[The12Nurse]

whats with the tube on the gas tank?

[riflemanjim]

@The12Nurse vent

[ilikesuzuki]

that number 41 is sexy on almost every bike he has ridden.

[Cookies205]

i would love to be one of those guys... too bad i couldnt start riding by age 12...

[Brain245able]

@Cookies205 Supermoto racing...

[ReGinoPino2]

@seabullone (avevo finito i caratteri a disposizione leggi quello di sotto prima) dicevo, l'albero a croce unisce la corposità ai medi e bassi regimi del bicilindrico e la potenza esplosiva del 4 cilindri agli alti regimi

se poi mi vieni a parlare della Desmosedici RR... bhe che dire è una moto stupenda ma con i soldi della desmosedici mi compro 3 R1, oppure ne compro 1 la porto alla yamaha e me la faccio fare ancora più mostruosa della desmosedici...

[ReGinoPino2]

@seabullone Ma dai se ci mettiamo a fare paragoni del generenon ne usciamo più... lasciamo stare le moto gp perchè almeno io non ci sono mai salito, non so tu (in moto gp sono convinto anche io della supremazia ducati) ma in super bike e nel campo delle moto stradali la ducati non va poi più di tanto (ripeto che mi dispiace moltissimo ammetterlo ma è così) ora poi che la yamaha ha il motore a scoppi irregolari unisce i vantaggi del 2 e del 4 cilindri con nessuno dei loro difetti...

[saebullone]

Madonna ragazzi questa moto è un missile ha una coppia assurda solo gli italiani fanno queste cose!!!! e le moto giapponesi vincono solo grazie a piloti italiani!!!!! rossi esempio!!!

[ReGinoPino2]

guarda ti dico solo che sono un ITALIANO superpatriottico, io sono W FERRARI E W DUCATI, ma devo, a malincuore, riconoscere che la Yamaha R1 (qll del 2009) è di gran lunga superiore

[saebullone]

@ReGinoPino2 Di che ducati parli???? DI questa??? Può anche darsi.... Ma io per Ducati intendo il top... la desmosedici... sia gp che rr stradale... E la r1 non si avvicina lontanamente... Che dici??

[RokyJJ]

only BAYLISS can stand on a Ducati...Haga has not the right to ride that bike....

[1989crystalmarie]

Iv met these guys =) Last year they came to my work (Xerox) and i got to sit on one of the bikes =)

[UnivoxMax]

Haga can win. He's just too careful. Spies got nothing to lose. He's a rookie and He's going to MotoGP. Haga is looking to retire as a champion and He can't mess up. If He's a rookie like Spies or Simoncelli, He will win. Those rookies got NOTHING to lose.

[Fogerty75]

Go Spies Go!!! support "The Ben" ;-)

[cpiaragongp538]

yesterday i was at germany at the nurburgring watching the race, but i think haga will win this year, hes doing very well and ducati is still 1st in the standings second yamaha, but its close, well see how it ends, but im for haga!

[patrasanut]

haga for evvvvvvvvveeeeeerrrrrr

[rallys4r]

Haga is the man.I see him winning the championship this year :-)

[crazylegs187]

i`d love to agree ... but i realy think spies will win it but nori deserves it

[Novantii]

Spies will win.

[fatbollox75]

Haga is simply superb. If you look at his carrer races/wins/podiums, hes just got better and better, and for me without any hesitation, will win this years WSBK and be crowned champion, which Ducati will be thrilled with. The Haga/1098 partnership was meant to be., and is fantastic to watch.

[cassavaeater]

About 1996 Haga used to be the rider of Ducati. He spent a season in 1996 with Ducati.

[lanabomber]

go haga go!!!but the best of all times is troy baylis!

[synkronyk]

one of the best, foggy wasn't bad either, nor was xaus and edwards

[EJ25RUN]

He dominated Ricardo Tormo on Sunday and his consistency at Qatar means his worse positions in the 2009 season thus far are three seconds to go with his three wins. Go Haga!

[bowie731]

i hope haga win the championship this year

[tonykartyz125]

I think he'll win championship this year.

[CoreyJ124]

ducatis sound horrible...they dont sound like a sportbike IMO

[ducatisti1]

Spies might barely edge out Haga for the title this year. it probably will come down to a DNF in 1 race.

[Conneyfogle]

yeah, but it liked Phillip Island, when it was racing!

[carlosinfl]

Glad to see Haga back on a Ducati. He did amazing on the R1 however he flowed better on the Ducati and many of the tracks seem to suite the twins better. This is his year for sure!

[micheleeurope]

HAGA!!!! king of SBK!!!!

[valentinogomoto]

harga is bad ass but he should have stayed at yamaha

[moriwaki1105]

I remeber getting up in the middle of the night to watch Foggy etc...for a few years there it was some of the best racing ever seen...I just can't get excited about it now...not since 02 when GP went 4 stroke...but Good Luck to all of them.

[flaviopk50s]

mamma mia....

fiero di essere italiano...

[ispitanfart]

Spies and Haga were both very good at the island today, i cant help thinking Spies would have got a double if he wasnt punted off. He checked out in the final few laps which is where haga is usually strong. Good showing from Laconi and a hell of a ride from Haslam and also the Brits in WSS too. Good on them.

[Conneyfogle]

It seems to like Phillip Island

[v3rtic4L5miL3]

Kyalami, South Africa

[ispitanfart]

Great rider but wont get the title. I have massive respect for Nori but he makes too many silly mistakes. Its going to be a great year 2009, but i still miss Foggy, Slight, Edwards, Chili etc. They were the days.

[schwantz037]

Agreed, never been the same without Foggy, like to see Haga win though, but Speis is looking strong.

[turbocarr]

Ah yes, the Foggy years. I recall, I became a die hard WSB fan when watching Foggy and Corser on the Duc's. Just battling every lap to the very end, literally banging fairings, Foggy winning by centimeters. Damn! Chili. One of the nices racers I've ever met. Haga; pocket rocket!

[fredsredhat]

He's good but he wasn't a patch on Bayliss. Tom sykes lead Bayliss at Donington on a BSB spec bike. Sykes has it for my money

[foooollee]

bella nitro nory futuro campione del mondo 2009

[buddyboy68]

Thats a good call yamr,but i think if that bike stays reliable and haga can keep on it,he has a very very good chance of winning it this season.

[yamr108gb]

You just know he won't win the championship, great rider, on his day maybe can beat anybody, but he'll join people like aaron slight and never get his hands on that trophy..

[dalesv]

bella nitro 41

[pazuzu41]

It looks like his manager, toshi ariake coming out with Haga @ 0:40.

[tonykartyz125]

I think Haga should be in Moto gp

[teesnob]

he was in MotoGP

[pantrofl]

that bike looks awesome

[dolphinsattack]

Haga will never win a championship because he's too inconsistent, makes too many mistakes. Even Max Neukirchner I bet will finish ahead of Biaggi on the Alstare Suzuki.

[riflemanjim]

the best rider not to win a championship

[submissions72]

@riflemanjim He will if he ever joins Kawasaki

[riflemanjim]

@submissions72 kawasaki needs a year with the new machine

[aap21]

Haga is one lucky mofo..

[mariopetrix77]

nitronoriiiiiii

[M8tRiX]

It's gonna certainly be a exciting year for WSB :)

[kabob983]

It'll just be odd seeing Haga on a non-Yamaha...

[tomsykes66]

wsbk will be the best ever this year , with sykes,rea,haslam,hill coming expect fireworks cos these boys wont hold back.... about time we had some brits in wsbk.

[biaggi220]

bout time we got some americans...well american

[zzytrewq]

Nori for No.1

Great guy, good sport too.

[technicolorhighway]

haga has been around many blocks.hope he wins

[Punkank]

bayliss forever

[yehyehdan]

nitro norry king of slide:P

[crazylegs187]

nori 2009 champ i think

[mjfan123085]

is his main mechanic from yamaha going with him? I thought they were long time friends right?

I hope he finally wins the title next year.

[maurofast]

Finalmente Nori vincerà quel titolo che meritava da anni.

Un talento cristallino con una grande moto.

[dudeball2002]

NITRO NORI FTW

[maksy111]

wow jesus is a good rider

[albatrossdumale]

Ora non ci saranno piu' cazzi per nessuno...

[Desmomonti]

Grande nitro & ducati una coppia vincente!!

[chry0074]

the gladiator -HAGA on 2009

[kubomon17]

jesus look at the size of those tires!

[MobiusPT]

Jesus has nothing to do with it! :)

[ducatisweden]

lol

[LuigiaPallevicine]

Ci stava meglio il 21 sulla carena..

[DESMON748]

Ora hai una vera MOTO da corsa,tieni solo aperto e vedrai ke i risultati arrivano!!FAI il bravo con i meccanici.

[gunluvS14]

Go Nori Haga!

[mahamza86]

Racing bikes are so wicked

[eazycpt]

if he could master this bike i think he would win the 2009 championship.

[dukino]

i want to be Haga lol :D

[gengiz]

fuck that awesome lean angles and that sound is freaky

[animal100000]

I want that bike!

[mbrizzicone]

I want back the 21 on the xerox bike
