The news was out earlier today, Nori is switching to BSB. Nobody wanted to either pay his salary or give him a good (factory backed?) ride in WSBK which I think is a shame. But then, only some know the dirty details.
What do you think about it? I´m a little sad to see him being pushed aside. Nevertheless with the revised rules this year´s BSB championship should make one hell of a seaon!
I saw this on Crash. Isn't he taking Anthony West's seat? Should be interesting to see how he goes in BSB. That is a good team and he defiantly could have done a lot worse!
As much as I love Haga-san I think that his best years are behind him.
I would love to see him in WSBK but in all honesty I think it's good to see lots of new blood in WSBK and guys that have already proven themselves in BSB finally being given a good shot.

Then I have no clue why Tommy Hill didn´t make it to WSBK. I think the guy who beat Hopper for the title deserved a shot at the bigger class.
You might be right for Hagas days being over, but Hopper, Checa and Biaggi rejoiced from stepping down (GP>WSBK and WSBK>BSB). Maybe he´s in for a title after all these years? I´d like to see him win.
people said the same about Max & Rossi... now look at the sucess Max has had when he dropped down to WSBK
GO HAGA!!!
Of course, the lower you go, the more success you "should" have? That's why they go lower, to try to remain relevant and successful and keep your name out there. I bet if Haga went to AMA or club level he would seem like a beast.

Only if Anthony West was taking Hutchy's seat, then the team wised up and got a more proven rider.

Motorcycling is not, of itself, inherently dangerous. It is, however, extremely unforgiving of inattention, ignorance, incompetence, or stupidity
Haga was always the "Maxwell Smart" of WSBK....
"Missed it, by THAT much".
Shame really, i thought he deserved a title, after coming sooooo close sooo many times!
Whatever the venue, i'd be glad to watch 41 mixing it up!

I'm guessing Tommy didn't have the sponsor dollars needed to get a WSC ride. Hopper brings a lot of cash with him as does Haga.
