Marco Melandri has launched a scathing attack on ౠMax Biaggi after suggesting he was deliberately blocked during Superpole at Donin💦gton Park.

The pair came across one another on the exit of McLeans during SP2, Biaggi moving across the circui♔t in the path of Melandri.

Forcing the Yamaha rider to slow, Melandri expressed his displℱeasure by gesticulating at his countryman, before pulling off a 'block-pass' at thℱe hairpin to indicate his frustration.

E⛄ventua﷽lly bumped down to ninth position, thus ruling him out of the top eight shootout, Melandri was furious with Biaggi, saying his actions revealed his 'true professionalism'.

"I'm🉐 disappointed to be starting on third row of the grid tomorrow, but that's what happens in Superpole," he said.

"I'm just sorry that it was another rider's fault. Biaggi showed🧜 his true professionalism, he cut in front of me even though he clearly had seen me and that's not how a World Champion should be riding.

"I'm going out there in the races even more determined than ꦬever and I believe our race pace is good."
