Max Biaggi indicates Jorge Lorenzo as his heir

Max Biaggi spoke about the 2009 season in an interview with the official Superbike website. The Roman rider, who became a father a few days ago, also indicated Jorge Lorenzo as his possible heir. According to Biaggi, in fact, the Majorcan rider has characteristics that are reminiscent of his riding style. Here are his words regarding the Yamaha rider.

Among all the young people who compete in speed, who do you think is his heir, in terms of talent and driving style?
“It's hard to say. I objectively believe that Jorge Lorenzo is a rider who can potentially do well and I hope he can win even more races than me. I would be happy with it."

Biaggi then spoke about the 2009 season and his expectations for 2010.

What is your opinion on your and Aprilia's 2009 season?
"Great I'd say! It is a bike that has only been racing this year and without ever having participated in any competition before. I would say that the potential is high, now comes the most difficult part, which is to improve further."

Are you ready to fight for the 2010 title? And if not, what is missing from the RSV4 to be on par with its rivals?
“Objectively my heart tells me yes, but until we try the new 2010 products it's impossible to say”.
