Biaggi won both races today at Misano, he led form the middle in race one up to two thirds of the race when he decided to take the lead…in race two he managed to break away from the rest and was impossible to catch.
Race was fun, it was a fight between the titans, Biaggi 39, Corser 37, and Checa 40.
Corser on the BMW led 17 laps of race one, and gave us a nice show until he got tired.. thats when Biaggi Aprilia and Checa on the Ducati made their move.
Master Max

Yesterdays’ race at Monza was the best race of the season, Max Biggi shined from start to finish in both rounds.
Biggi was unstoppable, sliding into a corner and coming out of the same corner with a wheelie….got me glued to the TV for 36 laps.
Toseland on the R1 was the motivator for Max, he pushed Biggi to the limit but then he couldn’t keep up, in race two Crutchlow’s also gave Biggi a good run but his R1 broke down later on.
The race marked the first ever World Superbike podium for BMW, Xaus posted his best ever result for the team, with a sixth place in race one, and Troy Corser came third place from 12th on the grid in race two.
It was also a great race for Tom Sykes the Kawasaki man who gave Haga a hard time, and Haga couldn’t overtake him.
A first for Aprilia

Biaggi on the Aprilia scored his first win of the season in race one at Brno, It was also Aprilia’s first win in the category since 2001, Biaggi cruised to finish line after Spies and Fabrizio were eliminated when Fabrizio crashed taking down Spies down with him, Troy Corser on the S1000RR led the opening two laps, while Xaus on the same bike crashed out on the first lap.
In race two Spies led towards his eleventh win of the season, but it wasn’t easy as he had to keep Biaggi at bay, Biaggi took second, third went to Fabrizio.
