Aprilia’s Max Biaggi didn’t have the best day racing at Imola, but a fifth place in Race 2 clinched the 2010 WSB championship for both Biaggi and his employer. Carlos Checa (Ducati) won both races ahead of second place Lorenzo Lanzi (Ducati) and Noriyuki Haga (Ducati) in Race 1, while Haga and Cal Crutchlow (Yamaha) filled out the podium below Checa in Race 2. Biaggi secured the title with one round remaining (in France).

Congratulations to Max on his 2010 World Superbike Championship. For a rider of his talent to have to wait thie many years for another world title must have been frustrating. It’s a shame he couldn’t get it done in the big leagues but I don’t blame him for moving down to superbike. He is getting older and is probably looking at retirement in the not too distant future. It might not be the ultimate achievement but a World Superbike Title is a very respectable consulation prize.
Again, congrats Max!
Forza, Max!
