Haga, podium man par excellence at Magny-Cours

Ten podiums in twelve races at Magny-Cours is a record to be proud of for Noriyuki Haga at the French circuit. After his overall positive form at Imola the Ducati Xerox man will be attempting to finish off the season in the best possible way this weekend.

It will also be the best possible way to say farewell to his Ducati Xerox squad, with whom he has spent the last two seasons in the championship. His aim will also be to finish in the top 5 overall, and that might be on the cards seeing as he is just one point behind Cal Crutchlow in fifth.

"I have always done well at Magny-Cours and hope that the coming weekend is the best yet," he said. "I would like to thank Ducati, the team and the sponsors for these last two years. I have had a wonderful experience with the Ducati Xerox team and hope to thank my technicians by scoring two great results on Sunday."
