Haga, inace poslje Rossija moj ljubimac je rekao sledece...
The 2006 World Superbike championship gets underway at Qatar this weekend, and for Noryuki 'Nitro' Haga, the goal is already the title. The Japanese rider, who scored two wins and scored the most points towards the end of 2005, has been buoyed by the improvements made to the YZF-R1.
Having won two races and having outscored eventual champion Troy Corser over the second half of last year, Haga will undoubtedly be among the favourites for the 2006 title. It's a challenge the popular Japanese rider is relishing as he looks to win the title that has so far eluded him.
"I don't feel any pressure," Haga says. "It looks like Yamaha has been able to make the improvements I asked for at the end of last year so for now I am happy with progress
"It is still my target to win the title," he continues. "Every year I am close: second position, fourth position, third position... but never number one. Every year I always go in with the attitude and focus to win it and this year is no different."
The team has worked hard over the winter to increase the competitiveness of the YZF-R1. Most of the focus has gone into improving traction and rideability of the bikes over race distance, while a new engine management system from Magneti Marelli has been well received by the riders.
"The R1 is really feeling more comfortable now and it's about evolution as much as anything else," says team-mate Andrew Pitt. "Everything is looking good, we made some good progress at our December test in Qatar and I think that the team is well equipped to take on any problems.
"The new electronics make it much easier to ride and we've pretty much found a good set-up for the race," he adds. "The main thing we need to work on is finding a front tyre that will do the race distance. That was our big problem here last year, although it was our first race with the R1 and hopefully it won't be a problem this year."
