Biaggi signs for Aprilia

[Coddy]

Ma-x Biaggi has signed to ride the Aprilia V4 for 2009.

So looks like it will be Biaggi and Alex Hoffman on the priller. This bike will sound the mutts nutts. MCN quote that the V-4 has clocked 1.34.2 round Valencia, compared to 1.35.1 of Haga's 2008 race lap record. Canna see this being right, must have been real fancy tyres.



Haga and ? on the Ducati. (Haga confirmed, Byrne rumoured).

Sykes and Guintoli on the Yamaha. (Sykes confirmed, Guintoli rumoured).

Xaus and Corser on the Big Mans Wanger. (Xaus confirmed, Corser rumoured).

Kiyonari and Checa on the H-onda. (Kiyonari confirmed, Checa probable).

Suzuki, Neukirchner and ?
Kawasaki, who cares.
KTM ??

Will be some good racing though.

Yeah interesting stuff.

That time for the Aprilia seems a bit suss doesn't it?

Haga could finally win the title with Xerox Ducati if he's consistent. He rode the Renegade Ducati well in 2004. I'd like to see Byrne there too but Fabrizio brings sponsorship doesn't he?

Nieto will stay at Suzuki for the same reason.

Like to see more Brits with competitive rides - HM Plant are still considering going to WSB aren't they?

Ant West will be looking for a WSB ride too I imagine.

HM Plant staying in BSB. Neil Tuxworth confirmed this at Croft.

Dunno about abody else but Haga kinda needs to stay with Yamaha. He gets his best racin out of them. Anyone remember a few years ago, 1 of the best races Ive ever seen! Haga on a R7 Bayliss? on a Duc what a race till the Duc rad burst! Few good races then he was away to duc then nothin back to Yam then on it again







OK been
