I look forward to seeing him quite often in Lorenzo's garage, right across from Rossi. :teeth

Gonna miss watching him ride. Great rider.

Thanks for the memories Max!

well there goes some of the excitement in 2013.

def a good way to go out though.

Thanks for the memories, Max. :thumbup

 

[rsrider]

The man you loved to hate, and then when he left MotoGP and actually became a cool guy. He was like a fine whiskey, mellowing with age.

Max goes out on top in style. Well done, Max.

Well said, rsrider.

 

[Goose916]

Out on top. A historic racer surrounded by controversy and finally, a fast, if time mellowed fellow with flair. Thanks for making racing entertaining and fun!

I miss Max everytime I see Jorge and Dani in a press conference. Dull and rehashed comments that say nothing. I wish those two would get in a punch up backstage ala Rossi and Biaggi. So much more fun!

Thanks again Max!

I'm gonna' miss him.

He's been a staple of my moto-racing viewing since the beginning.

Loved watching him in EVERY class. Good for you Max, go start a winery or something.

Ciao, Max

Goes out six time world champion. Not bad, and what a resurrection after 2006

Yep. WSBK was great for Max, and I'm glad for it. Fitting end to a fine career. Go out on top, and call it a day. Next year would have been tough for him - great time to bow out gracefully!

Agreed ^^^^

Nothing like going out on top!

I wonder if he will return to manage a team after some time off?

I'd be willing to bet he's still being pursued to both ride or manage!

Good luck Max! :thumbup

Have always liked Max Biaggi. Gonna miss him.

:thumbup 2013 will be a bit less fun without him.

 

[fast4d]

not a huge fan of max but I respect his accomplishments. LOVE the aprilia.


but hopefully this year it'll be marco/BMW

 

[TTTom]

leaving for the right reasons after a great career.

and leaving behind a whole bunch of silly season questions to be answered in WorldSBK

Guintoli got the short-end of the stick in this whole thing; signs for Crescent Fixi Suzuki, then backs out of it cause of an offer from Aprilia to ride their factory bike, so he shows up for the winter test, only to find Biaggi was there as well to test the bike (Laverty's on his 2nd year of a two-year stint), so now he may end up back on a Ducati to be run by Alstare, and Biaggi retires anyway. :laughing
