Noriyuki Haga showed that he is back to his best and the only man capable of running with runaway series leader Troy Bayliss at Assen. <br /> <br />Throughout practice and qualifying the Japanese star was in good form and started the weekend as one of the favourites. <br /> <br />The opening race didn't go to plan after Haga tangled with Sterilgarda Ducati rider Ruben Xaus with both men crashing out of contention. <br /> <br />In race two the Yamaha Italia man redeemed himself with an impressive ride that saw him push Bayliss to the limit throughout the 22 lap race. <br /> <br />Watch the video to see what Haga had to say in the post race press conference. <br /> <br />Satisfy all your biking needs at http://www.motorcyclenews.com<br /><br />Love this video?
