HAS NORIYUKI Haga accepted Ben Spies will be 2009 World Superbike Champion?

Speaking about the American, who has fought back over the season to reduce what was a 72 point deficit between him and the Japanese Ducati rider to just seven going into the last third of the season, Haga said: "I can't really talk too much about Ben and how he races on track because so far this year we haven't had much chance to race against each other.

"The way the races have been, we have seemed to be fairly apart on track. But what I do know about Ben is that there are no weak points in his riding."

Yesterday, Visordown reported how Max Biaggi said that the American would be this year's WSB World Champion; now Haga is saying there's no weak points in Spies' riding and the Yamaha man himself is just a handful of points away from taking the lead in the overall points.

It might be worth slapping a tenner on Spies now, if you haven't already.

Bring back Bayliss...Then he will have some competition...Also there are so many young hungry guys in the other superbike classes throughout the world,why don't they get rid of all the old guys who are only riding for pay packets and give these young fella's a go...

Haga is japanese, the fact that he rightfully prizes Ben doesn't mean he is given up. Whilst Ben's chances look really good, Nori will go all out, we have some exciting racing to see.

Obviously the numpty who wrote for 'Visordown News' has never watched World Super Bikes or he would not have asked the question.

As for ' riding for pay packets ' try riding your push bike with the injury Nori is carrying Bluey, then you'll know how hard a fighter Haga is.

Make your mind up, do you want to give the young lads a chance or bring back Bayliss, which is it?
