Biaggi signs for Alstare Suzuki

Alleur, Belgium September 14th 2006

Max Biaggi: Team Alstare Suzuki Corona Extra's new spearhead!

After months of waiting, the agreement between Max Biaggi and Francis Batta has finally been signed.

Max, a rider who needs no introduction, is more motivated and fitter than ever. He has already asked to test his new Suzuki GSX-R1000 K7 as soon as possible. "Today is a good day," He said. "I have always followed the World Superbike Championship and my view is that it is an extremely exciting championship. I have always admired the riders taking part in the World Superbike Championship and I value the class?s technical level."

"I have known Francis Batta and his family for years and have a lot of respect for him as he has devoted so much time and attention to promoting the profile of the World Superbike Championship. I am back in competitive sport and I am happy to be riding for an official team - Team Alstare Suzuki Corona Extra. I am as determined as ever, and really want to win the Superbike World Championship. This is probably the biggest challenge of my sporting career."

Francis Batta has always wanted to work with Max Biaggi. He said, "Max Biaggi is definitely a valuable addition to my team and to the world of Superbike. He will have the best possible staff at his disposal. I have enormous trust in his capabilities and know that his desire is to become the first Italian rider to win the World Superbike Championship."

Paolo Alberto Flammini, CEO of FGSport, Showed huge enthusiasm when hearing the news of Max Biaggi's arrival. As soon as Francis Batta told him that the agreement had Been signed, he declared: "The arrival in the Superbike World Championship of one of the greatest riders in the history of motorcycle racing proves the tremendous fascination the series has for motorcycle fanatics. Furthermore, Max's participation is the result of a collaboration between Team Alstare and FGSport. We are convinced that he will help boost public interest in the World Superbike Championship. His presence will also improve the competitiveness and spectacle which make the World Superbike Championship one of the most exciting series in the world today."

Just read that in brief on the old teletext,

I love the quote...

I have always followed the WSB series and my view its an extremely exciting championship!!!

Yeah right Biaggi, but still he should liven things up a bit, but the question is, is WSB getting to be a graveyard for Ex MotoGP riders I wonder?????

I thought that was funny too, Dazza, it`s hillarious watching him come kissing ... to Batta and SBK.

Dosen`t matter though, Max is going to have to deal with Troy on his home turf, now. Can`t wait to see Bayliss taking more scalps.
 
With Max already signed, shipped and delivered and the prospect of Hodgson, Edwards and Haslam all returning, the 2007 season could be a golden one.

What about Corser and Kagayama, or are they keeping a three bike team, or will Suzuki put Kagayama back in BSB?


Good question. i did hear rumors about a 3 man team, one guy would be developing the bike. havent heard anyting "official" on that though.
 
Kagayama`s doing better than Corser right now, I think he`s probably got a better shot at staying on the team than TC at this point. But Corser, Kagayama and Biaggi? What does Batta have against hiring young guys?

lack of youth in the series it seems. hell what about ducati. if hodgson comes back to team with bayliss! def won't be the most spritly team either.

I think they`ll do well. They`ve raced together before in BSB and they got along well, especially because the year before that Hodgson was teamed up with none other than Carl "Temmate from hell" Foggy, going from that to world championship racing`s "nice guy" Bayliss. would have been a welcome change I think.
