I did say second, but its not too important, i think they had equal race wins, and mamola finished 2nd in the title 4 times to max's 3.
I dont so mutch like Biaggi as i do admire and respect him, because sometimes he would just have been on another planet to the the other riders, and othertimes he was the only guy who could stand the heat on planet rossi. I mean how far behind was 3rd place (gibernau?) in south africa 2004, that was an incredible race from both men. I would like to see him successful in superbikes, i think he deserves a happy ending to his long and actually quite impressive career.
Mind you i didnt actual miss him at all in motogp 2006.
