Alitalia Aprilia's Max Biaggi is struggling to be fit for the upcoming Imola World Superbike round after the foot fracture he suffered at the hands of a small rock at speed during the opening free practice session at the Nurburgring is still causing problems.
Biaggi was forced to sit out both races in Germany with the displaced fracture and says the injury is more complicated than was expected. The Italian says he is in constant contact with the Clinica Mobile in order to expedite the recovery.
"The pain from the fracture started letting up only yesterday. Moreover, the fracture was displaced and I knew it would be more difficult than expected. I’m working all day using magnetic therapy and doing small movements. But the thing is more complicated than expected," said the Roman Emperor.
"Time is short and the difficulties are huge but I’m trying with all my strength. I really want to go racing again. I can’t assure anything, except the fact that I’m going to fight to be there. I’m constantly in contact with Dr. Claudio Costa and with my physiotherapist."
