The six-time world champion makes a prediction: "After a long break, Marc immediately scored a strong result in Portugal. I think he’ll be really fast in Spain"

Taking centre stage at the Aprilia All Stars event, Max Biaggi was the most successful of the riders in attendance at Misano Adriatico. The Italian holds six world championship titles, five of which he won with the Noale manufacturer (plus one with Honda in 1997), across the 250 and SBK classes.
Now a brand ambassador and team manager, Biaggi still loves riding both two and four stroke bikes and continues to keep a close eye on the riders competing in the world championships. Marc Márquez, for example, having returned after an extended nine-month break: “Incredible – comments Max – he did really well, what more can I say? He hadn’t ridden for almost a year and then came back at Portimao, a very tough track on a MotoGP bike. It’s very physical, especially with today’s MotoGP bikes”.
Max Biaggi: "Márquez did an amazing job”
And Max knows all about the challenges involved in riding a GP bike to the limit. Marc appears to be moving in the right direction, as Biaggi notes: "Marc did something amazing down there, scoring seventh place, an excellent result, the result of really amazing work".
This Sunday the riders head to Jerez, the very track where Marc had his accident and then attempted a premature return to racing. But Max doesn’t think this will pose any problem for the Honda rider: “Ah, you’ll see, he’ll be really fast at Angel Nieto, I’m sure he’ll be fighting for the podium there".
