Aprilia confirms Simoncelli, 250 World Champion, alongside Biaggi for Imola


Marco has been preparing for his Imola WSB debut with two days of testing at Mugello yesterday and today, where he lapped with a best time of 1 minute 53.55 seconds, completing 91 laps.


"I am very satisfied with this test," he said. "I was quite quick and together with the bike managed to improve a lot. We worked to find the right base setting for Imola, where it will be important to find a good set-up as quick as possible, which will make things much easier. I'd like to thank Aprilia for this great opportunity, I will be making my debut in a category and on a track that are completely unknown to me, the level of our rivals is very high and it won't be at all easy to obtain a good result".
