MAX BIAGGI scored an exciting double race victory at Misano.
After qualifying poorly Biaggi came through the pack from the third row of the grid, culminating in a hard fight between Carlos Checa, who had an equally low start back in 16th. The second race was a similar affair as Biaggi again came through the pack and pulled clear of some early action to win ahead of Jonathan Rea and Leon Haslam.
