"A lot of people have helped me in my career and now I will be able to help Aron to express his talent after a difficult year. It’s a feeling that is priceless!", Develops Max Biaggi with reference to the sawtooth career of his protege.

  • MNC special file :

Aron Canet has effectively alternated between good and bad since his debut in 2016: 15th for his first season on a Honda Moto3, the native of Corbera propelled himself to third place the following year thanks to three victories! Considered a logical title contender in 2018, Canet missed the boat and finished 6th.

New team, new bike (KTM) and new ambitions: 2019 marks Canet’s return to his highest level, he who had not won since the British GP 2017. A performance to be attributed to the supervision of his boss Max Biaggi ?

And what about Team VR46 riders, Celestino Vietti and Dennis Foggia? The Doctor’s two Italian proteges occupy 11th and 13th positions respectively after three races contested on their KTM: advantage for the Biaggi structure, therefore ?!

No, because the comparison is distorted by the difference in experience: Aron Canet already has three seasons in Moto3 while the very young Vietti (17) is discovering the Grands Prix. Foggia, barely older (18 years), for his part is attacking his second full campaign: the Biaggi driver is almost an "old man" next to Rossi’s representatives !
