Italian motorcycling great Max Biaggi announced his retirement from the sport Wednesday.
Biaggi, a former world champion in the 250cc category, went on to finish runner-up in both the 500c and MotoGp categories before turning his talents to the world Superbike series.
The Italian posted a message on his Twitter account earlier Wednesday which read: “Today is going to be a new day for me… things will never be the same.”
He later told reporters: “I have officially retired.”
