WSBK Imola: Max Biaggi is the 2010 World Superbike Champion

Max Biaggi-2010 World Superbike ChampionThanks to the fifth place earned in race 2, Biaggi brought the point gap to 63 points between him and Leon Haslam (Suzuki), who was the last rider in contention for the title (413 to 350). A gap impossible to fill with only the French round at Magny Cours to go until the end of the season. Max Biaggi – with his fifth title after four consecutive world championships, from 1994 to 1997 in the 250 class – is the first Italian World Superbike champion.

In the manufacturer standings Aprilia (433 points) is 41 points ahead of Ducati (392). Nine points will be enough for the Veneto-based team to take the manufacturer championship.

But Imola was not the site of a simple race day: delayed at the start of race 1, Biaggi had to settle for a placement (11th). Race 2 was an entirely different story. Abandoning any use of tactics, Max forced his Aprilia RSV4 into the front positions, battling for the podium right from the first turn. The fifth place he ended up with handed Max the championship title a round early and evoked an explosion of rejoicing from the thousands of fans who had come out to the circuit to cheer on the most famous Corsair in world motorcycle racing.

“This is a grand day – commented an exhausted but happy Biaggi in the end – a day which I have greatly desired. I’ve often felt in past years like I hadn’t been placed in the proper conditions to be able to express my worth and to achieve the results that I know I deserve. This is one of the reasons that, at a certain point in my career, I chose this world, the SBK championship, and this is why I wanted to surround myself with the right people for this adventure – because racing isn’t just about speed, tyres and an engine. It is also about joy and having fun and with these guys, with this team, I feel at home. I want to thank everyone: my team, Aprilia, Piaggio Group, the chairman.

It has not been an easy season. Many riders have won races and if they had been just a bit more consistent, they would have been able to be more troublesome for us. The greatest moments were the double victories at Monza and Misano. It is something very special to win in front of my fans. But it isn’t over yet – there is still one goal left – to ride my RSV4 to the manufacturer title. We’ll talk again in a week and it would be truly fantastic to close out this wonderful season with another championship”.

Roberto Colaninno, chairman and CEO of the Piaggio Group (which Aprilia is part of) was in the pit to experience the triumph of his team and rider and had this to say: “Today we achieved an extraordinary result which takes place in the second year of Aprilia’s participation in World Superbike and, once again, confirms the technical excellence of the Noale Racing Division as well as the Piaggio Group in the two-wheel worldwide scene. It would be impossible to imagine anything better on a day like today. We won the World Superbike Championship on an Italian track, with an Italian bike, an Italian rider and a sponsor – Alitalia – which takes Italy all over the world. This has never before happened in Superbike history and this makes all of us that much more proud”.

2010 BMW S1000RR Superbike

2010 BMW S1000RR Superbike 1

Last year, BMW managed to stun motorsport fans with their official announcement for a S1000RR ultra-sport literbike that was supposed to take on established Japanese competitors. This year, all the hype is around the 2010 BMW S1000RR model. Dictated by aerodynamics rather than a designer’s pen, the new superbike follows an asymmetrical theme with a large, fox-eye headlamp on the left side paired with a smaller circle-shaped right-hand unit. Tailored with a four-mode ABS system and a Dynamic Traction Control system, the new S1000RR is light at only 189kg and fast thanks to an inline-four engine that outputs a good 182 bhp. What a beast!

Iannuzzo explains Valencia incident

Vittorio IannuzzoSquadra Corse Italia's Vittorio Iannuzzo has been explaining the details of the horrific-looking incident in which he was involved, together with Simon Andrews, on the pit straight on lap 3 of the second race at Valencia. The British rider was forced against the pit-wall and then pushed down onto the grass by his bike, causing havoc amidst the team signalling boards on the wall.


‘Andrews suddenly slowed at 290 km/h and I couldn't do anything to avoid the impact,' said the Italian. ‘His left foot-peg split open my oil cooler, I took a hefty blow on my ribs and my hands but I managed to keep control of my Honda and stop on the grass almost at the end of the straight.'


Back in 2008 at Phillip Island Iannuzzo slammed into Michel Fabrizio's Ducati, which was stalled on the starting grid, and suffered several fractured bones in his other hand that kept him out of racing for six months. This time he only suffered bruising to his hands, while Andrews came away from Valencia with a broken heel and a fractured bone in his left foot.

Max BiaggiAfter the Valencia weekend, which brought two more podiums and confirmed the current excellent form of both rider and machine, we caught up with Max Biaggi, currently lying second in the championship on his Aprilia Alitalia RSV4 machine, just 18 points behind leader Haslam. The Italian had an exclusive chat to WorldSBK.com about his feelings about the 2010 season: results, rivals, aims, his future and his fans.


How important for your morale was the double victory at Portimao?


'I had a strong feeling that the Biaggi-Aprilia pairing in this 2010 season could produce some excellent races and winning twice at Portimao is confirmation that we are at the top'.


And at Valencia you also showed you were up there at the front. What was missing for you to get on the top step of the podium?


'Let's say that we were very competitive throughout the entire race weekend. We could quite easily have won race 2, there was nothing in it, with a bit of luck we could have done it...but I have to admit that both Haslam and Checa were really strong'.


Compared to 2009, the Biaggi-Aprilia pairing appears to be much stronger this year. What exactly has changed? Are you more determined or has the bike improved a lot?


'That was just the first year of racing for the RSV4 machine and we needed to run it in a bit. Now we have prepared everything for the best and we can be up there fighting in every situation. I am really motivated and for sure I'm not holding back'.


If you had to choose between consistency, luck, bike, team and rider to win the world title, what would it be?


'Let's just say that to be a winner you have to have all of them, it's an explosive mixture!'


Who do you think is your main rival this year?


'It's a bit too early to rule out some riders who have a chance of winning the title and when I'm on the track everyone for me is a rival, there's no difference'.


Let's dream a bit: at the end of 2010 Max Biaggi is the first Italian to win the World Superbike title, on an Italian bike and with an Italian sponsor. What will you do in 2011? Once you've achieved that aim, will you say goodbye to everyone and retire or try and efendi the title another year, this time with the number 1 on your bike?


'You should never tell your dreams and for this reason I can't answer that question otherwise they never come true. I'm already working for the future irrespective of the result that I can achieve this year'.


You won your first world title at the age of 16 and you're still one of the most popular riders for Italians and fans worldwide. Ever wondered why?


'I don't know how to answer that one. Ask the fans, I try and do what I love doing in the best possible way, that is racing bikes all over the world'.
