Biaggi relives magic Brno moments with Sunday's win
"It's fantastic," said Biaggi after the win. "I still can't believe it, I'm feeling some indescribable emotions. The last few laps were a series of flashbacks of my previous eight wins here at Brno. It was a very, very difficult race. Once I was in the lead, I pushed really hard but I couldn't break away from Checa and Rea who were really quite competitive. I'm sorry about the accident that Fabrizio caused, but that's the type of thing that can happen in a race. I want to thank my entire team and Aprilia for this victory, especially Gigi Dall'Igna who is a bit like the father of the RSV4 and who unfortunately couldn't be here in Brno this time. I'm very proud to have been the first to win with this new generation motorcycle, just like in '94 with the 250cc when we won the first championship title together."
"After the victory in the first race, second place is really a great result," declared Biaggi. "I can't help but be satisfied with a weekend like this one. I battled it out for a long time with Fabrizio and it wasn't easy to pass him. Plus Spies had set an excellent pace and began pushing ahead right from the get go. I caught up with him right away, but unfortunately I wasn't able to take the victory away from him, his bike was really stable and he had some great breakaways. We changed the rear suspension for Race 2 and I believe it was the right choice. Now after the holidays, we'll be going to Germany, where it won't be easy because we're going to have to start from scratch again and I hope to find myself in the same situation as today and to have these very same types of races."
