I am a big fan of Haga as well, but something has not been clicking with him this year so far, well until race 2 at Valencia (which I finally watched last night). This was the Haga I would like to see, battling his way up from a 7th or 8th place start to the front pack and then taking over the lead. Haga is someone you love to have in racing from a spectators point, as the man loves to push it and pass, quite unlike Corser who is mostly content to sit behind a guy the whole race (although I will admit Corser is looking much more aggressive this year). I can't agree with the original post however, Haga started out terribly this season, but hopefully he is improving and moving in the right direction now. He just has a huge amount of points to try and make up. I, as many others, would love to see him win the season but I am thinking we will season a man named Bayliss at the top this year.
