After his infamous “bitch slapping” incident at Donington, you would have thought that Max Biaggi would have sunk about as far as he can go. But, no, the “Roman Emperor” is still up to his old tricks and this time the aggrieved party is his own team-mate!! Listen as, in this video, Leon Camier complains that Biaggi was deliberately going slow on the racing line while Leon was out on his Superpole lap (and, no, it’s not paranoia, MB has done this before).
