"In race two I was suffering from a lack of grip from the rear and I lost many seconds out of th🌟e corners," said Max. "Then Smrz struck my bike three laps fr🍬om the end, breaking my left little finger and causing an injury to my ring finger."
However, writing on his official website, Biaggi revealed that the inj🐻uries have put his participation in the inaugural Salt Lake City event on June 1 in doubt.
"Unfortunatꦺely this accident is the last thing I wanted... It means that I risk [not being able] to dispute the next race and there꧑fore not to be able to fight for important objects that is a fundamental thing to me," he said.
"I m sorry for all fans that have waited me out from ﷽the mobile clinic [꧃at Monza] I have not been able to greet them, but above I'm not successful to give them a win. I m convinced that the unlucky period will end," concluded the triple 2007 WSBK race winner.
Biaggi sits just eighth in the World Superbike standings, 129 points - over fi🉐ve race wins - behind Troy Bayliss.
