Max Biaggi will make a sensational return to the World Superbike Championship after he was confirmed to compete at the upcoming Misano and Sepang rounds with Aprilia.

The two-time world champion, who clinched the 2010 and 2012 titles before opting to retire in the wake of his second win, has retained a keen hand in helping Aprilia in its WSBK and MotoGP development, with speculation of a potential wild-card return rife for months.

Indeed, with Sepang revealing it had a two-wheel legend returning to action for its event in July, Aprilia has subsequently confirmed Biaggi is that man, the Italian not only competing in Malaysia but also his home Misano round.

Prior to decision to move into World Superbikes in 2007, he won four consecutive titles in 250cc Grand Prix racing between 1994 and 1997. He went on to finish runner-up in the 500cc class in 1998 and 2001 and well as in MotoGP in 2002.

Biaggi will ride the RSV4 under the Red Devils Roma banner alongside Leon Haslam and Jordi Torres.

He is the second ex-world champion to embark on a surprise return to World Superbike this year after Troy Bayliss rode with Ducati in Australia and Thailand.

I don't expect him to do any better than Troy did earlier in the year, but I bet we're in for some spectacular displays from ol' Biagg!
 
I loved Bayliss' return and so I will Biaggi's. Though I would prefer to see him in GP. Now that Rossi is going around giving hand jobs to his old rivals and all.
 
I hope that the return of Biaggi is good ! See him riding the Aprilia Rsv4 is fantastic ! This year Jonathan Rea is very strong and the Kawasaki is very fast !

Alright Dig? how've you been.

I remember about 2006 or 2007 time, Max colliding at Misano with Fabrizio I think. Amusing thing was he crashed directly in front of Vale who had sauntered down to watch the race and was outfield on a scooter on that precise corner at the time. I swear you could see him in the background laughing.

He may be a deranged old fool, but then so is Barry, and he has always similarly entertained me too. Unlike Baz, he knows how to ride a motorcycle - I'd love to see him take the double.
 
Been good arab, good to see u back :)

I remember that too, piss funny .... that was!

Yep, i wish i could ride as bad as max lol.
