SBK 1000 - Haga

Noriyuki Haga was constantly in the higher areas of the classification at the 2002 Superbike, but due to unexpected tyre failures he was not able to use the Ducati as the superpower that it is as Troy Corser had done with the semi-debut of RSV in 2000. But even the Superbike is no longer the same: the four-stroke MotoGP competition put the formula in question and big changes were on the horizon. At the end of the season, Aprilia, like many other Manufacturers, decided to suspend its participation in the SBK before the events, transferring Haga to MotoGP.
