Biaggi doubles up at Monza!!!



Aprilia Alitalia rider Max Biaggi cruised to an easy second victory during World Superbike round five at Monza after a host of his rivals crashed out.

The Italian completed a golden weekend on home soil adding race two victory to the win he secured during race one and pole position achieved while qualifying.
But while Biaggi had to work in race one, race two was a breeze with Brit James Toseland wiping out himself, Jonathan Rea and Ruben Xaus on the first corner of the first lap.
Yamaha Sterilgarda rider Cal Crutchlow was left to haul down the Italian by himself however his bike blew up after 12 laps and he was forced to crash out.
Championship leader Leon Haslam cleaned up to finish second and maintain his record of climbing the podium at every World Superbike round so far this season.
Australian Troy Corser claimed third and the first podium finish for his BMW team while Brit Leon Camier quietly ended his weekend in fourth.
Fellow countryman Tom Sykes improved his best finish of the season to fifth while Shane Byrne maintained his consistent start to the season coming home in ninth.
