Biaggi hails “crucial” moment
Max Biaggi claimed that his double victory in Misano yesterday represents a “crucial moment” in the championship as he extended his lead over Leon Haslam.
The Aprilia rider put in a faultless performance one of his home circuits to open up a 37 point lead over Haslam and take a huge leap towards the World Superbike championship, capitalising on the Suzuki rider’s eighth place finish in race one.
And the 39-year-old believes that this result could prove to be a significant moment in the championship race, having won the last four races in the series.
“In such a tough and well balanced championship, all of the victories are earned with hard work and sweat,” he claimed. “In race two, to be honest, maybe I rode pushing the envelope a bit, maybe even risking too much. But on the other hand, without risk there is no gain!
“This race represents a crucial moment for us and for our season we are coming out with our heads held high. As always I want to thank everyone from the bottom of my heart: from the guys on the team to our supporters.
“Victories like this never happen by chance and these ones in particular are well deserved by a large family which works together toward a common goal”
