Two-time World Champion ready to return to action.

Max Biaggi will watch this weekend’s WorldSBK races at Laguna Seca on television, although for Malaysia he will be back in action with Aprilia Racing Team following his earlier outing this season at Misano World Circuit Marco Simoncelli.

“The wild card at Misano was great,” says ‘The Roman Emperor’. “It was a great show of affection and passion by all motorcycle racing fans. Not even I could have imagined the participation and involvement that it stimulated - and for me it was a great moment of sports competition. Throughout the weekend I had a great time on the track, particularly Friday and in the two races, especially the second one.

“All of this convinced us...not to leave the job half done. But I must admit that the real challenge is finding the strong motivation to take this new chance at Sepang, a track where I haven't raced in many years and where I have never raced in World Superbike. Anyway, it won't be easy to repeat the same performance levels of Misano, but the beauty of this return also lies in accepting difficult challenges. We'll work our hardest to be ready.”

At Misano, Biaggi completed his World Superbike return with a pair of sixth places from fifth on the grid.
