Max Biaggi is now almost a full 100 points behind Carlos Checa with three rounds of the 2011 World Superbike Championship remaining.

The Aprilia Alitalia rider lost significant ground to Carlos Checa at Silverstone, but is feeling positive about his chances in Germany.

The Italian began the defence of his WSBK crown with a pair of second place finishes at Phillip Island.

The Briton has seen his pre-seaosn build up hampered by poor health this week, an illness that is unlikely to improve over the weekend.

Max Biaggi proves he is still a world class rider with a dominant performance with Aprilia in 2010.
