True! I think they all go through a little of that though... I remember some questionable Rossi passes in the past. Heck, there was this wet race back when he was a rookie in the big show, where he must have crashed at least 3 times!!!

Itll be an interesting rest of a season. I hope Haga heals quick. I'd like to see biaggi win more consistently too. I wish he'd get a better ride or find a way back to motogp. Rossis' teamate

I don't think anybody is blind to the fact he took himself out a few times. How could anybody miss the one where he cartwheeled the bike over the barrier?!

Crashes aside, you can't deny technical issues have added 2 or 3 occurances of 0 point finishes to his season, doubling any damage he's done on his own. One incident turned 25 points into 0 at the final turn. Spies fan or not, that's significant.

But its a case of who becomes a better rider from it. haga is on top of his game but then look at Xaus he used to crash all the time too but hes been a mid pack rider at best for a while now.

this sux, I like Haga as a former ducati owner. I do cheer Spies as an American favorite, but with Haga out it diminishes the competitiveness.
