Biaggi Re-signs With Aprilia
Biaggi re-signs with Aprilia
Biaggi captured the 2010 title riding the Aprilia RSV4 in the sportbikes second season in WSBK competition. Biaggi scored ten race wins including four doubles to win the championship as well as earn Aprilia its first WSBK manufacturer championship.
Biaggi will be the first champion to return and defend his title in four years. James Toseland (2007) and Ben Spies (2009) left the series for MotoGP while Troy Bayliss (2008) retired following his third WSBK title.
Im obviously very happy to be continuing this winning adventure in World SBK with Aprilia, says Biaggi. After an exciting but tiring season, after many years of racing and many victories, it was only natural and right to stop and think, to reflect on such an important future commitment. And in my considerations a very decisive factor was, as it was at the beginning of this adventure with Aprilia, the fact that I feel so close to a team and a company which is so capable and so focused on the sports objective.
Biaggi will again be joined by Leon Camier who signed a one-year contract extension in September. Both riders are expected at the Oct. 27-29 test at Spains Motorland Aragon circuit to prepare for the 2011 season.
Now we need to prepare as best as we can for next season, says Biaggi. We are well aware that we cannot rest on our laurels and that we will be in all of our rivals' sights. But now I am also sure that we will be highly motivated at the start of the first race, with a bike which I have brought up and which I did not want to abandon, ready to die hard ... extremely hard.
