2010 World Superbike - Nurburgring Photo Gallery

Max Biaggi: "It's a shame. We battled all weekend with grip and chattering problems. I know that I can be decisively faster. In fact, in Superpole with the soft tire we were making excellent times. But the important thing is to know how to deal with the difficulties. We took home some important points from a championship point of view and now there are just two more rounds and we're out front."
