Noriyuki Haga has started testing in preparation for his wildcard entry for the seventh round of the World Superbike championship, that takes place at Imola later this month.
‘NitroNorì’ who will be racing under the Grillini Dentalmatic SBK team banner, got his first taste of the 2012 version of the BMW S1000RR at the Mugello circuit last Saturday and was assisted by Feel Racing and Grillini’s squad.
No times were released but Haga did around 15 laps around the fast and highly technical circuit.
The Japanese rider also recently took part in the pre-event test for the 8 Hours of Suzuka, with team Kagayama where they finished second overall.
Haga will be returning to the Superbike stage and at Imola where he took a double podium in 2011 riding an Aprilia RSV4 for Pata Racing Team.
