I've signed with Suzuki (http://www.max-biaggi.com/freetime.php?arc_news_id=400)

Hi guys, finally the great news, the one you have waited for all this time: I will race in Superbike, I have signed the contract with the team Alstare SUZUKI Corona Extra.! With the help of my Manager and the Francis Battà’s Team we have finalized the biennial accord and I am really happy because I know that now I belong to an important project, with a team that has already won the 2005 World Championship. I have always followed the WSBK and my view is that it is an extremely exciting championship, with technical level riders. I am back in competitive sport and I am happy to be riding for an official team - Team Alstare Suzuki Corona Extra. I am as determined as ever, and really want to win the Superbike World Championship. This is probably the biggest challenge of my sporting career. I know there are some scheduled test for October in Europe, so it’s only few weeks left and I’m looking forward to be riding again and see all of you there with me! I’ll talk to you soon then guys. Take care

Max

The WSB guys are going to go for him like a red flag to a bull next year imo. Should be fun to watch though. :lol:

i wonder what is going to happen to the other two riders on the alstare team. can they support 3 riders?

Nah it will still be a two bike team. We should be well and truly into the silly season now though so I expect some clues as to what colours everyone will be wearing next year will start showing up soon.

so, who is staying, and who is going?

Doesn't matter....... Max is gonna get his arse handed to him on a platter by all and sundry, proving once and for all his mediocrity.......

I'm going to have a hard time disagreeing with that. If Barros can only manage an average season in WSB then I don't have high hopes for Biaggi at all.

Mind you, if Barros learnt how to get away from the line he might have had a much better season.

kagayama will have to make room i guess. i hope max does well to be honest. i know he's a prima donna but i like a bit of character - even if max's

oh...this bike is crap...why cant i have his bike...i cant get the front to stick, my knee sliders are wearing out too fast, i had to pee sooo bad...lol what other excuses will he come up with in WSB?

i wouldnt mind seeing him do well either, but if he doesnt, will they make room for colin?

After seeing Bayliss' performance after switching back to WSB I would've thought there will be plenty of doors open to Edwards if he leaves GP.
