The WSBK website has kindly put up this video so we can finally see how Ruben Xaus took out Noriyuki Haga during warm up practice at Phillip Island, and this fourth and final crash of the weekend resulted in Xaus pulling out of the first round.
While the latest rumors are saying that Xaus may lose his ride, BMW’s team manager Davide Tardozzi hasn’t given up on his Spanish rider and will be spending two days in Spain this week, talking to a dejected Xaus in order to help him regain his confidence:“He has completely lost confidence and what I want is to to make him regain it.
It might take a few races to see the Ruben we’re used to, but we’re counting on it.
We know he’s a fast rider, aggressive, a quality rider.
In 2008, a little more than a year ago, he won at Misano with a privateer Ducati.
We want to bring him back to that level.
