SBK Nurburgring 2011 Print

NitroNori is back. The japanese rider's been the protagonist during both the Nurburgring races where he achieved a third place in race 1 and where he led a soaked and amazing race 2 until there were only two laps left. Haga confirmed the job done during the past few days. He managed a great start going up to the second place, and there he stayed fighting with Laverty and Melandri. When the italian rider overtook Nori tried to get his position back but without succeed. Late start for race 2 due to heavy rain.

 

After some adjustments settings the riders kicked off and Haga was striking times laps after laps gaining a huge gap over the group. But due to even more heavier rain Nitronori slipped and right after the red flag's been set out.


Noriyuki Haga - Aprilia RSV4R #41 - ” I'm really happy to be back on top. During race 1 I managed to take advantage of my starting place and everything went great. Then, the minute I began to lost drive, Melandri overtook. I was hoping for a dry race 2 as I was planning some adjustments. Anyway, I found myself pretty good on wet but when it rained heavier It was hard and even though I slowed down, I lost the front tyre. I'm sorry, I wished I could have give the team a win after the earlier podium."
