Found this little nugget while scouring Twitter:
http://cyclenews.uberflip.com/i/213117/19
The article is mostly about Aprilia's return to GP, but what stood out for me is Biaggi volunteering to ride for Aprilia. Some choice quotes: "I hope that [Piaggio group president] Colannino remembers the promise he made to me a year ago...this takes me back to when Aprilia was a big name in Grand Prix racing, when I alone helped put them on the map-it was a fairytale success."
I don't know if Biaggi wants to race again or just test, and I also don't know if Aprilia is even taking him seriously, but how awesome would it be if Mad Max was back on the grid in 2016? Even better: how awesome would it be if Rossi was relegated to a customer M1 by that point, and the new Aprilia was roughly as fast as the Yamaha? We'd have reason to watch what was going on at the back of the grid, if only for the weird old-timer's race appeal of the thing.
