There’s a hush, hush rumor going around regarding Max Biaggi’s Aprilia RSV4 which he used at Assen and wasn’t exactly Superbike kosher.
Apparently during one of the usual technical sporting checks they found that the fuel injection pump on the reigning World Champion’s bike wasn’t the same issue as the ones found on Leon Camier’s and Noriyuki Haga’s Aprilia’s and it may have given Biaggi a couple of more ponies to use, max.
It seems that Aprilia got a very light slap on the wrist and was told not to do it again so Biaggi won’t be loosing any of his precious championship points, and you can bet that when the Monza round (the Aprilia is favoured at the ultra fast circuit after last year’s double victory) rolls around next May everything will be kosher again.
