The front of Max Biaggi’s 2010 World Superbike Championship celebration T-shirt was pretty well self explanatory , 5 stars on the front to remember his four straight 250cc World titles (Aprilia and Honda) and this first Superbike title, and this new star will be added to his Suomy helmet design.
To tell the truth we prefer the back of the t-shirt where the Roman Emperor listed 10 reasons (we like points 4, 5 and laughed at 6) that brought him to take the title in Aprilia’s second year of racing with the RSV4 and that the Superbike website kindly translated the words to English to share with all of us: 1.
I’ve been chasing a fifth star for a long time;2.
I am the first Italian in SBK history to win the world title;3.
I am the first Italian to win a 250cc world championship with an Italian bike (Aprilia) and I wanted to be the first Italian to win in SBK with an Italian bike (Aprilia);4.
I have the hottest chick as my companion, and this helps! (referring to his current companion Eleonora Pedron, ex-Miss Italy);5.
Enzo Ferrari was wrong, in a big way… (referring to the F1 constructor, who famously said: “When a driver becomes a father, he loses one second a lap”);6.
I will never stop thanking Ducati for their refusal to sign me in 2009;7.
Aprilia and Piaggio are my second family;8.
Becoming a father has given me exceptional motivation;9.
At well past 39 years of age I can still keep everyone else in line;10.
I owed it to all my fans and the Italians.
