Max Biaggi got into the saddle again to help launch Pirelli’s Angel GT new Sport Touring tires, in a special test event that took place on the launch deck of the Italian aircraft carrier Cavour, which is currently docked in the port of Taranto.
Biaggi’s test consisted of riding his bike up 100 km/h and stopping on a predetermined point of the deck that was previously doused with water supplied atmoshperic water pump sand seeing how the sports tire reacted in the extreme wet conditions.
The six time World Champion retired from racing in 2012 and is currently a World Superbike commentator for Sportmediaset.
