Capirossi to return at Dutch Grand Prix
24 June 2008Suzuki rider Loris Capirossi will be back in action in this weekend's Dutch Grand Prix at Assen. Capirossi was an enforced spectator at the last round in Britain following an accident at Catalunya earlier this month, which sidelined the Italian star with a broken hand.

Capirossi's injury has still not completely healed, but Capirossi is determined to get back on his Suzuki GSV-R this weekend and continue with the bike's development and to demonstrate the will to succeed that he has shown so far this year. His replacement at the last round - Ben Spies - will also be supporting the team at Assen and later in the season will return to the GSV-R for wildcard rides at both American MotoGP rounds.
"I'm 100% certain that I am able to ride and I just can't wait to get back on my bike again," said Capirossi. "It was really difficult watching at the last race, but I want to say well done to Ben as he did a good job in his first GP. It certainly felt very strange seeing him working with my crew and sitting in my chair in the garage! I missed the test in Catalunya because of the injury, but I know Chris made some improvements to the bike so I will be looking at those and seeing if they will help me. I need to carry on from where I left off and continue to make the bike better and I know that top result is just around the corner."
