You may remember from this weekend’s World Superbike race at Monza that Noriyuki Haga had a bit of a run in with a flock of pigeons during Race 2 (http://www.asphaltandrubber.com/news/wsbk-monza-race-2-results/), causing him to drop to 15th place by the time he crossed the finish line. In response to his avian encounter, the Japanese rider has updated his site with a humorous anti-pigeon campaign banner.

Haga doesn’t have to look far for supporters, as American Ben Spies is a likely candidate to join the club as well. The Texan also had tête-à-tête with a*pigeon*while lapping around the Italian track this last weekend, but was able to overcome it. Haga leads Spies in the WSBK series by 54 points.
