The Bologna Motor Show last weekend hosted a 'Superbiker' event in which MotoGP riders Max Biaggi, Loris Capirossi and Manuel Poggiali competed. The presence of theꦅ big names ensured a large public attendance and the crowd were energetic for the Saturday and Sunday races.

On the first day of racing American rider Ben Bostrom took the chequered flag first ahead of Toni Elias and Loris Capirossi in second and third. Poggiali only💖 managed fifth position, but the young Italian has little experience in Supermotard.

The second day saw Poggiali taking fifth again and then seventh in the second race. Randy De Puniet did wel🐎l on Sunday, however victory was achieved by Bostrom in the first race and Colin Edwards in the second.

Max Biaggi only took part in the racing on Sunday having flown directly from testing the new Yamaha fourꦆ-stroke in Sepang, Malaysia. He only managed ninth and sixth places, which shows how t🧔ravelling and the Italians hectic schedule have tired Biaggi out.
