Is it wrong if I watched WSBK last night and felt compelled to root for Biaggi?

Minus Valentino he seems like a totally different guy, and ANYONE who can contribute to beating Ducati is OK by me.

Seems that the year off did mad Max some good. I never thought I'd be a Biaggi fan but he's been a refreshing addition to World Superbike...who would of thunk it?

A little humility did the man good.

Anyone know how Bayliss is fairing?

He seemed to have whacked is head pretty good
with that fall he had in Race 1.

Also what's the deal with Locatelli?
(sorry to take this off track here !)

Yeah Biaggi is ok now ! The year before I was rooting for
Barros, who did pretty well in a couple of races.

I'm rooting for Max! btw, Akira, the Biaggi replica is the ticket for your new lid

According to Superbike News UK

The current state of Troy is that he has been taken to Derbyshire Royal Infirmary where they will perform reconstructive plastic surgery work on the little finger of his right hand which he injured in the race one crash. Basically he lost most of the bone on the little finger and they decided immediately to take him to hospital.

Troy said “I want to do race two” but he was advised against that because of the possibility of infection and possible amputation.

It looks like it was trapped under the bike. It was a bit of a high side, he was accelerating coming into Coppice and the rear of the bike just snapped away from him. It was a bit of a tank slapper and he was quite winded all over and his hand got caught under the bike.

Obviously not race two but I think he will be there for Valencia. That is the latest news and we wish him all the best. Unfortunately these things happen, it was a nasty crash but he will be back.
