so you have a source for that? i thought max  said he got together with corser...


Just what was said on the telecast and from looking at the replay during the broadcast.  I haven't examined it any further than that.

It was Corser not Haga who tangled with Biaggi.  And actually, I think Biaggi hit Corser.  It sort of looks like Biaggi was pushed out to the edge of the track and had to cut back in just as Corser was passing him.  This is just a guess though since the replay I have isn't that good.

The announcers were talking about brake levers being hit (which they have been talking about the past few races) and mention Haga.

I love watching Haga race because he has no fear riding right on someone's back wheel, rubbing up against them, whatever it takes to win. He simply hangs it all out, all the time and I realy love watching that. The fact that he does it cleanly is even better.

It is fun to watch, but also a bit scary.

Well I was going off what the TV commentators said and who it looked like. I haven't read any post race reports. My bad if it was Corser, but Haga is definitely NOT the king of clean passes.

Speaking of brake levers, why hasn't some sort of guard been invented to prevent those kind of accidents?  I suppose it might get in the way of the fairing, but it seems like it would be cheap insurance.

Why does everyone say this?  Even the announcers say it, but I've seen Haga take out PLENTY of riders.  I'm sure Biaggi and Kagayama think differently.
