Six time world champion Max Biaggi has got the race rumour-mill twittering away with a tweet he posted yesterday about the Suzuka 8 Hour event.

Biaggi, who won the 250cc GP world championship four times, took 13 wins and 58 podiums in the MotoGP/500GP championships and was the World Superbike champion in 2010 and 2012, posted the following about his plans for 2017:

“8h race crazy hot race at Suzuka. It’s a great victory by the Yamaha team. Maybe it could happen for me to also run with them?”
