Donington Park and the Roman rebel.

Max and his latest tantrums.
smart new store adjacent to the museum and with an excellent cafe next door it makes a top venue for a ride out. The racing was brilliant but it was reigning WSB champion Max Biaggi’s antics and lack of results that was the major talking point

Retirement is rife but thankfully not for Vale

Lots of great riders are calling it a day, but not Rossi
might say we will never see his likes again but don’t worry, we will. Enter stage right Marc Marquez.Max Biaggi I guess feels he has had a good innings getting to forty one relatively unscathed. Like Troy Bayliss walking away as the World Champion must

Like many persons of advanced years, Mr Niall Mackenzie vicarioiusly enjoys the success of others for whom the clock ticks loudly. His support for dear old Max is truly touching...
Don’t you find it amusing that Leon Haslam, Jonathan Rea, Cal Crutchlow and Leon Camier were just innocent primary school kids when Max Biaggi began racking up his tally of 42 GP wins in 1992? Who would have thought that these four young Brits would

pushing Leon off line, but giving Jonathan Rea a chance to put himself in the gap that appeared. Leon was then on the edge of his tyres trying hard to get back on line when the slightest of nudges from Rea floored him but skittling Melandri in the process.Max

Niall salutes the hard-charging Noriyuki Haga, the perennial World Superbike bridesmaid who surely deserves to win the title in 2009. Ironically, a Yamaha may stand in his way
by not letting him ride? Races without Nori were poorer for it.His other bridesmaid spot was more recently, when he lost the 2007 title by just a few points. The felon this time was Max Biaggi. I’ve never been a big fan of the wee Roman – he once declared he

Niall puts his weight behind the Aprilia RSV4 Factory, but he’s not so sure about electric race bikes at the TT. Surely noise is a big slice of the appeal of racing?
, gives Aprilia the kickstart they’ve needed for years, and that they deserve. And just to make the job complete, why not hire Leon Haslam to show over-the-hill Max Biaggi the way home in World Superbikes 2010?By the time you get round to reading

Carry On Doctor

Against all the odds, Valentino Rossi took Yamaha's mediocre M1 to MotoGP victory this year. Here the champ takes time out to talk to our Niall about riding, winning and shoe-shopping...
almost as vociferous as the previous M1 incumbent, Max Biaggi, a rider who at least scored wins in its first year, 2002.So what turned last year's pup into this year's lion?Well, you'd be surprised how much of the M1 is basically the same as the 2003
