They need a new young hungry rider on that bike next year. If Biaggi makes a good start and is in the clear he has a good result, but if he is in traffic or close competition he just goes backwards.

You see riders like Spies, Laverty, Crutchlow, Camier and Rea have a bad start or drop it and they pass rider after rider. With Biaggi that just does not happen even with riders much lower down the pack. Nearly all his passes have been down the straight using the superior power of the Aprilia! If it was a time trial Biaggi would be great, but this is racing.
