Biaggi made a bike change for 2009 swapping his Ducati for an Aprillia.
The Roman Emperor. Mad Max is one of the most entertaining riders on the circuit today with an aggressive riding style that has made him more enemies than friends in the paddock. Max joined the 500 class with Yamaha in 1998 after a string of 250 titles with Italian manufacturer Aprilia.
With a total of four 250cc World Championships to his name you can always expect to see him running up front.
In 2005 Biaggi managed to get himself thrown out of MotoGP when he was black-balled by Honda, his former employer. The subject of numerous 2006 rumors, Biaggi landed on his 2007 feet with Troy Corser's vacated Suzuki WSB ride.
Max made nice in SBK and saw positive results, which included winning the season opener at Qatar. In his first full season, Biaggi finished third in the championship. But the at the conclusion of the year, the Italian found himself in a familiar spot, out of a ride and with an uncertain future. Mad Max regressed in 2008, finishing seventh overall for the Sterilgarda Ducati squad after an impressive third-place overall in his SBK rookie season with the factory Suzuki team.
Biaggi races 2009 aboard the all-new Aprilia RSV4. Doing so the Roman reunites with the marque he enjoyed great championship success with in his Grand Prix glory days. If the notoriously hard to please Biaggi can dial in the new Priller, the former GP star will contend.
