Nori Haga to race in BSB 2012
It must be true. Badger says
Yes it's me. The Badger is back.
The Badger sett's phone has been red hot the past forty-eight hours.
Rather than news of a tasty outbreak of root grubs or the imminent arrival of jack russells, the talk has all been about BSB and the signing-up of Noriyuki Haga San's services. Fans will indeed think this is the dog's borrocks. It's true. It's happening, Haga will be in BSB in 2012*.
The chances are, Haga will ride for a European team on either Ducati or Aprilia tackle - but that really is just a wild guess. Allegedly, Haga's salary is being funded in part by Jonathan Palmer's MSV, the BSB series organiser.
Badger has some concerns about this news. Can Nori be bothered with a damp Wednesday afternoon test session at Mallory in March? Will he be able to see BSB as anything other than a backward step?
What will he make of the circuit-side hot food stalls?
The questions may be as yet unanswered but one thing's for sure - he should be able to adapt to the traction control ban OK.
