Reigning champion, Max Biaggi, who took a double win last year at Miller Motorsports Park (Utah), will be seeking his first win of the season this coming weekend in the USA. MMP is a fast and technical track just outside Salt Lake City where Team Aprilia Alitalia had some pleasant surprises in 2010: victory in both races for Max Biaggi, first place in the overall standings for the Roman champion and the first one-two win in Race 2 with Leon Camier crossing the finish line behind Max's first place.

This year the second WSBK extra-European transfer is once again an important crossroads. The weekend at Monza, despite the difficulties the team faced, confirmed the strength and competitiveness of Max Biaggi, who now wants to send a strong message in the battle for the title. With the great support of the local fans - who always give Biaggi a warm welcome in the States where he is very popular - the World Champion must aim for maximum results.

"I have very good memories of the Miller track - confirms Max Biaggi - The double win last year took us to the top of the standings and was probably the first important step toward bringing home the title. I've always enjoyed racing in the United States. There are a lot of fans and they make their welcome presence known. On top of that the track is very technical, with guided sections where it is very important to find the right compromise in the bike's set-up. For this reason we need to start off right away on the right foot: from the first practice session to the last race, we need to be one hundred percent focused".
