Mar 29, 2011 - Max had a awful weekend, made so many mistakes in race 1, jumped the start in race and then was looking the other way when the team were trying to get him to come in, not a champions performance at all

Mar 28, 2011 - blah continued. Maybe because melbourne is a bit unsighted Haga didn't get enough info as what other riders were doing.: Camier slow down the inside (has to get on the racing line to make the corner) and Max on the outside but pulling too close to the racing line. So Max on track was a bit of an ass. Marco was a bit of an ass but no need for face slapping and tall tales. Don't know why they don't introduce 1 lap 1 bike 1 rider superpoles. zero influence from any oter rider.

Mar 28, 2011 - Continued... If you look in the background at 0:16 on this video he does the same with Camier on the very next corner . Marco's move at Melbourne was nothing like a move to drop the other rider to the ground so max is wrong IMO. And finally with Haga, when Max is pushing he turns just after the band of tarmac 0:37 but seeing Camier heading slow to the apex and going slow himself he gives room on the inside and turns in much later. Unfortunately Haga came down and around Max.

Mar 28, 2011 - To me it looks like an overreaction. On "2011 WSBK Donington - Biaggi and Melandri's war of words" clip Marco puts his argument (1:09) max raised his arm ( a sign to following riders they are slow ) before he saw him coming so he knew for sure where he was (paraphrasing his interview). On this vid Max looks then raises his arm so this is not what Marco says. Then max raised his hand in an apologetic way. Apologising for being on the racing line and unaware of a following rider which is bad....
