Biaggi: "I had grip problems"

Sunday, 05 September 2010 17:27 by Claudio Porrozzi


After convincingly winning Superpole at the Nurburgring, Max Biaggi couldn't repeat the performance in the race.  He was having problems with grip and chattering, and didn't not want to take any chances with his solid championship lead.

"It's a shame - Max said at the end of the day - We battled all weekend with grip and chattering problems. I know that I can be decisively faster. In fact, in Superpole with the soft tire we were making excellent times. But the important thing is to know how to deal with the difficulties. We took home some important points from a championship point of view and now there are just two more rounds and we're out front. The finish line is close, but we cannot make the mistake of underestimating our rivals who, even today, showed their determination to exploit every false move we make."
