I would really like to see Haga finally win for once, he deserves it after all these years, a real do or die rider. Spies looks real strong and lets face it, at this point its anyones game.

jkobflys · 03-13-2009, 8:09 PM

Definitely would like to see Haga win one, I always enjoyed watching him since back in the R7 days.
To bad Spies is going to win this one

Sorry mates looks like Leons will have to wait also.

Just managed to catch up with the supersport race my it was good, as you say should be great season

fotc1000rr · 03-17-2009, 11:30 PM

I would say that Spies will win the championship this year. Haga deserves it, he's been so close, several times. Spies looks very strong though. Look at him at Losail, a track he had never been to before, and none of the teams or riders had an answer for him. I guess we'll see, but it definitely looks like it will be a good season.

Platinum929 · 03-18-2009, 11:06 PM

I really hope/think that Haga's experience and fearless riding experience will prove too much later on in the season. Can't deny Spies is blazing fast and taken WSB by storm in his short time there, and I wish him all the best.. (fellow Texan) I just like Haga for years and I like Spies for a number of reasons, that just don't out weigh my reasons for liking Haga. I'd like to see Kyonara up there too......Peace.

GazRR · 03-31-2009, 8:45 AM

Well Spies is looking like the real deal isn't he and if Haga isn't careful, he may never be WSBK champion!

Only between those two I recon as Max N, Checa and Kiyo have already fallen behind and Biaggi won't be consistent enough to challenge up front every weekend, especially on a new bike.

The test for Spies is in the European tracks, looking forward to see how well he does there.

Haga is dangerous ("thats right I am dangerous", sorry couldnt help myself

) and I agree I wouldnt rule him out for this years championship.

Biaggi has done very well in only two races with a brand new bike, he can only improve and tbh he is the one I would like to see way up on the top.

You are a very brave man admitting that you like Max Biaggi mate. I have been a lifelong fan of Max's but I have had nothing but grief over it.

Was invited over to Bologna by Max in 2003 and I spent a whole day with him, he is a top bloke and totally misunderstood.

Well, after Spies's DNF in race one it has given Haga a bit of a lead in the championship. Definately between those two now and no-one else.

Now that we are at the European circuits, I recon that Nori will be dominant for a while yet and if Ben has another DNF, then he won't recover IMO.

repsolrider07 · 04-07-2009, 7:35 AM

looks like haga might finally win the world championship ,i hope he does, its a shame he,s on a ducati , spies will come close if he stays onboard very quick and determined, as for supersport i hope andrew pitt wins it, because the little chat i had with him at phillip island he was pissed off that he was not on a superbike when he won two ss championships i mean whats a bloke got to do !

Yes, he was treat badly by Ten Kate Honda and should have been in Superbikes this year.

What happened to him at Valencia anyway, he had a bad race and the Honda's have been poor so far this season in WSBK.

repsolrider07 · 04-07-2009, 8:02 PM

i think he was on the new bike but so was sofoglu but he did a bit better, anyway it was nice to see cal win his first race.
