Like all those concerned by the Aprilia cause, Max Biaggi was at the Aprilia All Stars event last weekend in Misano and he, on this occasion, said a word about the MotoGP season of his coat of arms. Because he is its ambassador, which is quite legitimate given the course of his career and the titles brought back to the Noale factory. He therefore took stock, admitting that he still hoped for better from the men in RS-GP. However, nothing is lost, and even less with this new format of which he also has an opinion…
At the microphone GP One, the Roman emperor made the “pollice verso” when asked his feelings about the start of the campaign ofAprilia in MotoGP: “ in my opinion, we have achieved little compared to what we could and could potentially take ". However, he is not ruthless: “ it's down to a bit of bad luck, a bit of mixing things up, but the potential is there. You just need to do a few good practice sessions ».
Max Biaggi: “ there are 40 races, everything is possible »
He adds : " we did well in Jerez, but the result was not what we hoped for, while at Le Mans they had what it takes to do well, but unfortunately we missed the start because of qualifying ". But nothing is lost, on the contrary, and here is why: “ we never had more than 20-21 races. Since there are 40 of them, in my opinion everything is possible ».
Which leads to talk of a new format, which is apparently becoming more and more accepted, even by elders. The proof : " when there is another departure and another arrival, we must always take into account the fact that we risk a little more » says biaggi. " But it is also a moment of additional attention for the public and the media, because on Saturday, instead of only seeing the qualifications, you can also watch the race. It’s added value. Then maybe people will even come on Friday » ends the Corsair.
