Marco Melandri has launched a scathing attack on Max Biaggi after suggesting he was deliberately blocked duriﷺng Superpole at Donington Par🧸k.

The pair came across 🐻one another on the exit of McLeans during SP2, Biaggi moving across🌌 the circuit in the path of Melandri.

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

Eventually bumped down to ninth position, thus ruling him out of the top eight shootout, Melandri was fur💃ious 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 happen🌳s 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 ever and I believe our race pace is gooℱd."
