Aprilia - World Superbike at Misano Adriatico - Preview

The third and last, for this year, Italian round of World Superbike. The Misano Circuit will host the factory derivatives for the seventh round of the championship, which finds Aprilia Racing Team standard bearer Max Biaggi leading the rider rankings. Coming from a double podium performance at Miller Motorsports Park, Max held onto the leadership with placement points, but he knows that he'll have to get back on the top step of the podium in order to harbour hopes of the world title. The circuit in Emilia Romagna could help the Corsair, who has always had good results on the Santa Monica asphalt, such as the double second place last year and the victories in 2010. There is no lack of motivation for Max Biaggi: “Misano is definitely a good track for us. It remains to be seen how the others will perform in light of the new balance we've seen since the start of the championship. We are the ranking leaders thanks to consistently good placements, but we need to improve our bike, which seems to have lost technical power compared to our rivals. My expectations are high for the weekend in Emilia Romagna. I want to give our fans two good races”.
