Great news! Maybe Haga can get motivated and give us one more shot at a championship run.

I'm liking that news too! I'd love to see a new spark in Nori, especially after this up and down year. I think he's still got it in him.

You've got to wonder what's going on at Suzuki, first they lose Ben Spies and now Leon Haslam, both great prospects for the future of their bikes. It's almost as if they aren't interested in racing anymore.

Or Toseland....if Ten Kate can come up with the funds for the 2nd bike and sponsorship...

but I bet Batta can get Max N for cheap!!!!...LOL

Haslam will be fine at BMW. Absolutely nothing against Alstare but obviously there are a couple of loose screws at Suzook. It's called a phone, pick it up and use it!!!

You're right. Are they even interested in racing any more?

At least BMW wants to race and actually have some results.

whoever gets that one bike better not be very crashy...

they didn't really lose ben, they never had him/chose not to. (pretty big distinction between between Yosh USA and Suzuki Japan)
