Max Biaggi and his Sterilgarda team manager have both lashed out at injured Noriyuki Haga, branding him hazardous after the Samurai of Slide and the Roman Emporer touched bikes at the start of race one this weekend at Miller Motorsport Park.
In what can only be described as a racing incident, although the two have a history of getting in each other’s way, the two banged wheels right at the race start and then Biaggi plummeted down the order, scrabbling his way back to ninth by the end.
Biaggi said: "In race one, as ever, Haga did a hazardous movement, and he touched my bike with his front wheel so I almost fell down. I went back to the track and I did a series of fast laps which brought me to ninth."
And manager Marco Borciani chimed in: "Once again Haga influenced the race of one of our riders, once again with hazardous actions.”
