NORIYUKI HAGA has said that he's back, fully fit and ready for a scrap with title rival Ben Spies at the WSB round at Nurburgring this coming weekend.
Haga has been struggling with his fitness since a horrific highside at Donington park earlier this season. The crash at Coppice corner left Haga with a badly broken arm, shattered shoulder blade and severe bruising.
Speaking about the German round, the Xerox Ducati rider, who currently leads the championship by seven points over Spies said: "I got a great result at Nürburgring last year and hope to be able to do the same again this time around. It’s a really nice track though last year was pretty wet for race day which made things interesting! Anyway I’m feeling much stronger than I was at Brno and, after a relaxing holiday back home in Japan, I’m totally ready to continue the fight for the world title.”
