Biaggi announces retirement..

  1. Well that's all I am seeing on Twitter at the moment, I thought he'd go for another year maybe...

    Looks like a spare seat now in the Aprilia garage
     
  2. Shame he's going. I would have loved to have seen him hang around long enough to fight it out with Rossi if he had got a WSB seat. His departure does leave a seat on one of the top bikes in the paddock. Somebody give Tommy Hill a call :upyeah:
     
  3. Great stuff , now at least Eugene Laverty won't be under team orders from Aprilia instead of being an afterthought. The difference a bit of data sharing made to him at the end of last season was obvious for all to see.
     
  4. (Quote- Sylvain Guintoli could now be approached to replace Biaggi as Eugene Laverty's team-mate in 2013)

    The offer of a ride with the factory Aprilia Racing squad was reported in MCN as being the reason Ginters pulled out of the Fixi Crescent Suzuki ride he`d agreed to at Magny Cours.

     
  5. Thats a real shame. Would like to see max defend his title.
     
  6. Good riddance to the stroppy old git.

  8. Stroppy old git or not....it's another loss of a 'character' from the sport.

    Probably to be replaced be a robot devoid of any kind of personality or charisma!

  9. That's gotta be the worry :frown:
     
  10. That really screws up my fantasy team for next year, nice one Max
     
  11. I know, some people huh :biggrin:

    God my fantasy team was a f-ing disaster this year :frown:
     
  12. Respect to Max. 40 plus and still at the top. Could not think of a better time to gracefully retire. I always think its a shame to see top riders decline on second rate bikes before they decide to knock it on the head.

  14. Definitely a a great rider unfortunately only ever ranked as the second best rider ever to come out of italy Ago being unbeatable at No1
     
  15. Poor old Colin Edwards :frown:
     
  16. Theres still time for that bait to be taken :wink:
     
  17.  
  18. So you don't like him then?

    But that's not my fault....so there's no need to swear at me like it is.

    I'm not really a Biaggi fan, but I did see Biaggi signing autographs at Donington Park this year, I'm a motorcycle racing fan and maintain that it's sad to see the riders that entertain leaving.
