ROME, 9 November 2004 — Italian MotoGP rider Max Biaggi has broken his leg in training and will be out of action for at least two months, ANSA news agency reported yesterday.

The agency said the Honda rider, third in the championship this year, had suffered multiple fractures of his left leg after falling off a Supermotard bike at the Latina circuit south of Rome.

Biaggi saw the MotoGP doctor Claudio Costa in Forli yesterday and was referred to a specialist clinic in Lyon, France, for an operation.

The MotoGP season finished in Spain last month, with Italian Valentino Rossi winning the title for Yamaha. The 2005 championship starts on April 10.
