MotoGP | Max Biaggi: “The rivalry with Valentino Rossi? Great time, we left our mark"

MotoGP Motorcycle World Championship 2020 – Max Biaggi was a guest of #CasaSkySport. The "Corsaro" retraced his career, also talking about the rivalry with Valentino Rossi (in the photo Biaggi in front of Rossi, Melandri and Capirossi at Mugello, ed.), remembered as a beautiful period where a mark was left.

He also spoke about his debut in the 500cc class, the world championship lost due to a very questionable yellow flag (in Barcelona, ​​ed.) and the famous wheelie in Brno.

Max Biaggi statements on Valentino Rossi

“I have never had an Italian rival before Rossi, who I also clashed with in 500, which is the most followed class. When you have an antagonist you divide the fans, the journalists, the crowds: this means you have left a mark. Many years have passed and if I look back, with a bit of romanticism, I find that period beautiful. It's similar to the moment the Spaniards are experiencing now: I'd like to have Biaggi-Capirossi-Rossi on the track against the Spaniards.”

Statements Max Biaggi yellow flag Barcelona 1998

“That year I lost the World Cup, for many I won it. That judge misinterpreted that yellow flag situation, today they would have given me a 3-4 second penalty. The following year they sent that race director home and that says it all.”

Statements Max Biaggi wheelie in Brno 1998

“Everyone remembers her. I felt a bit cool, a bit stupid and a bit miraculous. It was 1998, it was a special season because I was making my debut and I was going very well. I also thought about the coup and winning the title."
