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."
