Noriyuki Haga grab his best seasonal result in Imola, ending with a second place both of the races. The PATA Racing Team rider inflamed a more than 78000 crowd gathered at the Enzo and Dino Ferrari's track giving it all. He couldn't manage a great start at the green light of race 1, when he lost quite a few placings. But with determination he rode back on top firstly overtaking Laverty, Checa and Sykes and with 3 laps left, even Johnny Rea.

Same story during race 2, where after another difficult start, he brought himself right after Rea and Checa. On the finale, Honda's rider gave up himself allowing the encore to the japanese. His feeling with the bike is stronger round after round and now it's time to aim a win. With two more rounds left, the first of which will be held in Magny Cours, France already during next weekend.

Noriyuki Haga - Aprilia RSV4R #41 - ”I'm really glad about this outcome gained here, in front of my supporters. I had a bad start in race 1 and  Rea was great closing every gap. During the second one I kicked off even worse and that prevented a possible victory. I'll try again next weekend when we'll be back on track in Magny Cours."
