MotoGP: Max Biaggi reveals all about his Malaysian escapade with Aprilia

Max Biaggi was in Malaysia primarily to find himself...

Max Biaggi returned to the forefront of MotoGP just as Andrea Iannone was leaving it because of a dark doping affair. A conjunction of times which aroused all the more attention as the two men live under the awning of an Aprilia factory which found itself, suddenly, without one of its two titular pilots . This, almost on the eve of the tests planned at Sepang, marking the return to MotoGP. However, Max Biaggi was on the Malaysian track with an RSV4X… What to warm up for the RS-GP? The Roman Emperor confesses everything!

Max Biaggi was in Malaysia to do laps in the furnace of the Sepang track. What purpose ? He tells us everything on his social network… “ I would like to share some thoughts with you »wrote driver and team owner Max Racing. “ I really wanted to do the test in Malaysia with my RSV4 X, it had been planned well in advance. On this occasion, I also had the pleasure of organizing an event with Aprilia in Malaysia and meeting many fans. »

« I went to the other side of the world” continues Max, “ because I wanted and had to test myself, on a circuit that meant so much to me. Three years after Latina's serious accident and with age advancing inexorably, believe me, it took me a while to recover certain mechanisms. With 160 laps in three days at Sepang, I tested my body and my mind, to understand if everything was behind us. Being able to overcome this obstacle is an immense satisfaction for me, both as a pilot and as a man! Today I can say that the accident, which almost cost me my life, has been completely overcome. This is the greatest satisfaction I can get from the three days of testing in Malaysia! »

The one who will be a Grand Prix legend from this season adds: “ I wanted to be the first to tell you that I will not be in Malaysia for the MotoGP tests. Certain particular events that have occurred have allowed us all to formulate a series of hypotheses, but with great serenity I must tell you that a possible test has never been planned neither by Aprilia nor by me ". It will be recalled that these are Lorenzo Savadori et Bradley Smith which will be mobilized by the Noale factory for these tests.
