Biaggi on Pole at Monza

Max Biaggi has qualified on pole for today’s World Superbike round in Monza, Italy.

Setting an all-time record average lap speed in WSBK history of 204.405 km/h, the mercurial Biaggi also set a top speed record on his Aprilia, the V4 reaching 334.8 km/h (208 mph) on Monza’s long straight.
Yamaha’s Eugene Laverty was 6 tenths back in second. Johnny Rea was 3rd on his Honda, with Aussie Troy Corser rounding out the front row on the BMW.

Chris Vermeulen sat out qualifying after an elbow injury sustained in a practice crash, and James Toseland elected not to take part due to his wrist injury.

WSBK Monza will be telecast on SpeedTV at 7.30pm Eastern Aus time. Check your local guide.
