Haga, Haga, Haga!
What a hero. The guy is incredible, winning both races with a broken
collarbone. I admit I dozed off at the end of the second race and did not
see what happened but it looked like Corser actually gave up the race by
raising his hand after he got around Haga. Was Corser's pass on Haga because
Nori slowed for rain?

A quote from Corser:

"That was pretty close to my first win of the year and I am disappointed the
way
it turned out. Some rain began to fall after about twelve laps and the hairpin
at the
far end of the track was starting to get a bit wet, but I donıt think any of us
were
thinking of stopping when the red flags came out. I put my hand out to get
Noriıs
attention and itıs possible that the race direction might have seen that and
thought
that we wanted the race stopped. Soon after, Nori put his hand up anyway, I
think,
and that was it. Before that, Iıd been having a great fight with him but I felt
that
I could stay ahead of him and that this could be my day. Of course, you never
know
what Nori is going to do, but I really felt that I could win the race."

He put his hand up to get Nori's attention? That is a new one for me. In the
replay it certainly looked like Nori was acknowledging Corser pointing to
the sky.
