<{POST_SNAPBACK}><div class='quotemain'>According to Autosport.com it'll be Suzuki test rider Nobu Aoki, who is also on standby for Assen. Don't think we've seen him regularly since the '04 ride for KR alongside McWilliams. This decision is no surprise, since then he's been doing the testing job at Suzuki since '05, and has earned a handful of wildcard rides since then.
I think you might have misread that... the Autotsport article I see says:
"Loris Capirossi is unlikely to race in the British Grand Prix next week following his crash during the Barcelona race last Sunday.
The Rizla Suzuki rider injured his hand in a crash with Alex de Angelis at the Catalan circuit when the duo tangled on lap 11.
Capirossi suffered a dislocated fracture of the fifth right metacarpus, which is used to brake and accelerate.
Suzuki team manager Paul Denning said after the post-race test in Spain that the Italian rider is likely to miss the Donington race and even the Dutch Grand Prix.
"Loris's break is quite a complicated one; it's a dislocated fracture of his fifth right metacarpus, which is used a lot in braking and throttle control," Dennis told the official MotoGP website.
"Loris as always wants to ride, but at the moment is looking difficult for him to ride at Donington and perhaps Assen.
"It will be assessed if the bone will heal correctly, or if an operation is possible."
Tester Nobuatsu Aoki replaced Capirossi during the two-day test in Barcelona."
