17/01/2005 REPSOL HONDA TEAM AND MAX BIAGGI - ITīS OFFICIAL


In a much-anticipated move it is confirmed today (Monday 17 January) that Max Biaggi will be the official 2005 Repsol Honda Team rider together with American Nicky Hayden. An agreement has been reached between Honda Racing Corporation (HRC) and the high-profile Italian.

The four time world champion Biaggi, from his house in Monaco, said, "Riding a Honda factory bike is the dream of every rider, even those who race for other teams. I always wanted to be an HRC pilot. Today Honda is the best way to express all my potential and all of my skills. My life as a rider restarts today."

One of racingīs all-time greats, the determined and smooth-riding Biaggi has scored 42 GP wins and 56 pole positions. The 33 year old, from Rome, has his sights set firmly on the 2005 Moto GP crown.

Biaggi, still recovering from a badly broken ankle sustained in a supermoto accident last November, will ride the 2005 factory-spec Honda RC211V for the first time in Sepang, Malaysia on January 23,24,25 in preparation for this seasonīs 17-round championship that starts in Jerez, Spain on April 10.

David I hope you are right for a good close season, but me thinks Mr V is in a different class to Max no matter what they are mounted on.
