Team Alstare Suzuki Corona Extra rider Max Biaggi recorded the fourth quickest lap of the two-day World Superbike tests at Valencia, easily inside the lap record of 1:35.007 set by Briton Neil Hodgson (Ducati) in 2003.
Biaggi and the team used the two days to evaluate different set-ups and mappings and although he was unable to find the perfect balance for his bike, he was able to finish within 600ths of a second of the best time.
His team mate Yukio Kagayama defied the pain barrier throughout the two days and ended with the 12th fastest lap overall: His left shoulder joint was heavily strapped - a legacy of his heavy crash in Phillip island recently - and although his discomfort was severe he still managed to help the team test a variety of components and settings.
