The Roman Emperor rules race two.

Sunday, 22nd July 2007

Max Biaggi got the good memories that he had hoped for from Brno by securing the second race win at Brno for round nine of the Corona Extra Superbike World Championship.


He was joined on the podium by Britain James Toseland who had hoped to do the double but it unfortunately eluded him. The final step of the podium went to Michel Fabrizio on the DFX Treme Honda who this time round made perfectly clean passing moves to secure his well deserved podium.

“It is a lovely feeling to be back at Brno, it feels like my home town. This place loves me and I love it,” gushed Biaggi, “ I have to say thanks to Suzuki as they worked very hard and finally we are winning again. Even without a win I enjoy this Championship. Everyone is on equal tyres so it doesn't change performance I think it is a good rule. I like this championship and I hope to win again.”

Toseland admitted he gave the second race his all but didn't have and answer for Biaggi, “I gave it everything. It is tough when you are leading the Championship as you need to think about things more. I couldn't do anything about Max so a first and a second is ok but I really wanted a double. I pushed hard at the start to catch Haga so I had nothing left at the end. I'm happy with today, I was disappointed with Misano as we just didn't have the package. These two podiums are for the team as they developed the electronics for me and that is what a good team does.”

Just before the race was due to go the weather took a turn for the worse with the wind getting up and a light shower of rain falling. The organisers delayed the start and declared it a wet race. The change in conditions caught a few people out and the riders were tentative with their first lap while they established how wet the track was. The rain blew over and the race continued in dry conditions.
