Biaggi evokes memories with Aprilia win

Max Biaggi wins his first World Superbike race since Vallelunga 2007, while Aprilia celebrate their first success at this level since Regis Laconi's 2001 victory at Imola.

Never been a big biaggi fan for some reason, though must admit he's always been one of the smoothest riders i've ever seen on any bike i've seen him on and is a gracious winner and runner-upper. At the end of race 2 spies looked as though he was on the ragged edge and biaggi looked like he was still in the early stages just cruisin' around. Good to have him competitive and in wsbk.

He sure has looked good all season. I'm really surprised Corser has not done better but he did have a good weekend as well on the BMW.

Aprilia's learning curve has been steep in their first year back. They should be a monster next year.

Biaggi is a good rider but not so much on the liter bikes. He was definitely due for a win. If someone like Bayliss or Spies was on that Aprilia that thing would be stomping all over everyone. That is by far the best bike in the field and I wish I could afford one when it is available to the public.
