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.

WSBK highlights form Assen race 2
Race one was a bore so i skipped it.
A double for Johnny
As much as race 1 was a bore, race 2 was amusing…Rea on the Honda took the pole in both races and was fast as rocket and steady as a train.
Corser on the BMW led both races for a while but no one could find a way around Rea, it was not a good race for Ducati as Fabrizio fell in race one and Haga had a technical problem that made him quit race 2.
The Aprilia rider Leon Camier was doing well until he took a bad fall in race 2.
Davide Tardozzi
After retiring from racing in the Superbike, Tardozzi went on to be a team manager for the Ducati factory racing team, winning several Superbike World Championships with Carl Fogarty, Troy Corser, and Troy Bayliss.Tardozzi won eight Riders’ Championships as a Ducati team manager, but at the end of 2009 Tardozzi left Ducati to join BMW and became the new team boss of the official BMW Motorrad squad in 2010(World Superbikes)

Nori is back
Haga shares Valencia with the Suzuki rider Leon Haslam, Biaggi was the fastest…he pushed the Aprila to its limit, but it seams it was not enough to win the race, and lost it to Haga in race two.
