Haga out for three months.

Handed the season to spies.

Haga is one of my favourite racers, and just when its all going for him, boom, bad luck again.

It's a little early for this kind of rumor mongering especially considering the fact that the article first states that Haga has a fractured vert. and then turns around and says that a scan shows that he doesn't. In any case, they guessed a month- 3 months but it wouldn't surprise me if he tried to race the next round in Brno next month.

In any case, barring anymore Yamaha gremlins, Spies should be able to take advantage of this situation and possibly be the first person to ever win the WSBK championship in his rookie season!!!

no, theres another article on the soup. Apparently his wrist is badly broken, and his collar bone too. nSays docs figure three months, and the spinal injury is an old injury thats been bothered a bit.

Really, let's see Tardozzi said that he wasn't getting the x-rays until Monday... The next round is almost a month away. It wouldn't be the first time someone raced with a broken bone my friend. We'll see but with something this important on the line he might tough it out for Brno, pick up some points and then try to be ready for Nurburgring in September. Don't give up on him yet!

I guess the wrist is broken. Find out tomorrow for sure.

Still don't give up just yet. If Haga can salvage some points in Brno and not have to miss both races, he still has a good chance with 4 rounds left after that. Considering that there is almost a month in between all of the next rounds, he has lots of time to heal and get stronger. Besides, with the way it's been going for Spies, it's not a done deal yet for sure!!!

haga may not be a match for spies but his overall record in finishes is still greater. And dont discount fabrizio and the others. Couple of guys have been showing lately that they can stay with ben, passing him is another story of course

Oh agreed, the Ducati has been more reliable than the Yamaha keeping Haga in the points lead and Fabrizio a very close 3rd. Haga is a great rider and he is doing more with a less capable machine.

hes also a lot smarter in that hes not crashing out as much as he did in his younger days. He did some crazy/exciting racing but wound up on his ass a lot too.
