Federico Biaggi, nephew of top rider Max Biaggi is tipped to replace injured Leon Camier in the final two rounds of the World Superbike season.

The 22 year-old Italian rider has already experience Aprilia’s superbike after competing in the 2009 Superstock 1000 FIM Cup with an Aprilia RSV4 Factory fielded by Team JiR-Gabrielli. Biaggi is now racing in the Italian CIV Superstock 600 class and recently switched to the R.C.G.M. 2B Team Corse, riding a Yamaha and is currently 8th in the championship.

Leon Camier fractured his scaphoid during qualifying practice at Nurburgring and had to pull out of the German round and will probably miss the final rounds of the season. The reigning British Superbike Champion, who scored a podium at Silverstone will be undergoing surgery today to repair the damage to his wrist.
