Max Biaggi and Yukio Kagayama will race their first ever World Superbike Championship event on the Donington Park circuit in England this weekend.
Although the Alstare Suzuki Corona Extra riders have competed at the midlands venue before - Biaggi in MotoGP in 2005 and Kagayama in British Championships in 2004 - neither have gone head-to-head in the Superbike class.
And, the last time the Superbike World Championship was at Donington was a tremendous occasion for Team Alstare Suzuki: In 2001, Italian Pierfrancesco Chili took runner-up spot in the first race and then followed it up with a sensational win in the second. Since then the circuit has been off the calendar.
