I can't believe that Aprilia hired Haga back on. I like the dude, but he's done for.

Nori is a rider from another era. An era that was electronic rider aid free. Kinda Like his ole team mate Colin, he went best when it was just his wrist and the tire...

not really the factory there, and honestly pata b&g will likely do better with him over hot lap smrz. well, actually that depends. all descriptions make the rsv4 as a very nervous bike and im not sure thats gonna work well with nori's need for front end stability. maybe he should have tried for the other pedercini ride opposite rolfo.
