Capirossi confident for Mugello
29 May 2007The Ducati MotoGP Team goes into its home Grand Prix in fine form, with the remarkable Casey Stoner leading the World Championship with three victories and a third place from the first five races and Loris Capirossi confident of a resurgence after a difficult French GP at rain-lashed Le Mans.
Capirossi is looking forward to riding the Desmosedici GP7 at Mugello, an epic circuit where they have both scored success. Capirossi has put his Ducati on the podium three times from their last four visits and is the current lap record holder. The entire team can count on massive support from the Mugello crowd, including 3000 lucky Ducatisti, sponsors and factory workers who will fill a special Ducati grandstand at the Correntaio right-hander.
Capirossi said about his upcoming home grand prix: "Mugello is my home race and Ducati's home race, so it's a really big weekend for all of us. In fact it's a big event for all the Italian riders, last year Valentino (Rossi) and I had a great battle for the win.
"The Mugello crowd is very enthusiastic, there's always an amazing atmosphere. I love the track, it's got some fantastic corners and some really interesting up and down sections, so it's a lot of fun to ride and I usually have good race there. The circuit character should suit our bike well, even if my feeling with the machine isn't 100 per cent at the moment."
