capirossi

The ongoing Bologna Motorshow has provided the first opportunity since the Valencia season finale for Italian MotoGP stars Max Biaggi, Loris Capirossi and Marco Melandri to discuss countryman Valentino Rossi's move to Yamaha.

Not many riders get a bike named after them, but today (Thursday) at the Bologna Motorshow Ducati will present the Monster 620 CAPIREX to the public - a machine dedicated to MotoGP star Loris Capirossi.

Ducati has revealed that Loris Capirossi will take on an adversary even more fearsome than a Honda RC211V next Sunday, when the Italian will take part in a drag race... against an F104 starfigher!

Loris Capirossi snatched a breathtaking, last-gasp podium finish in yesterday's Portuguese GP, using the awesome power of his Desmosedici to out-accelerate Sete Gibernau's Honda in a thrilling race to the flag.
