<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE <div class='quotemain'>Along with that, you can also share your opinions about him: on his riding style, his achievements, and what you think the future holds for this rider.
In my opinion Loris's riding style is unique, and perfectly suited to the Ducati, which is why he seems to be the only rider capable of getting the best results out of it, week in, week out. Although I hate "what if" scenarios, I do think that if it wasn't for the crash at Catalunya, he'd have been racing for the title along with Rossi and Hayden. I hope to see him near the top next year, he really does deserve it. I think he'll stay with Ducati long enough for Stoner to fill his shoes (if he manages it) and will then retire, ending his career at Ducati. It can't be any other way, in my mind, when I think Ducati it's Loris Capirossi who I think of.

Casoloa Valsenio, Italy

23 year-old Loris Capirossi lives in Casola Valsenio. He is a simple boy who started to drive motorcycles when he was 4 years old and began to drive professionally at 14. He told us that his successful racing career has not caused him to be conceited and he has tried to maintain old friendships, also if new ones have joined.
When he was young he dreamed of becoming a lawyer. He did not expect to become a motorcycles champion. At age 17, he won his first world championship with HONDA in the 125 category, and the following year he won another world title in 125 class with the same motorbike.
The following year he competed in the 250 category, and after two years, in the 500 category. He won the last competition of the year 95-96 with YAMAHA, thanks to Duhan's and Criville's fall. He subsequently had signed up with APRILIA, in the year 96-97, the world championship in 250 category, but he was not at all pleased with the results.

Despite numerous competitions, he is still very nervous before races. His tensions are gone as soon as the light becomes green and the race begins. He is confident about his performance because he has had much experience in motocross, not only in Italy, but also in Australia. For this job it's necessary for him to travel very often and get used to new time zones. Quite often he has to leave several days before competition, but when the track is near his home, he leaves at the last minute. He prefers the English track where he has ran his first European competition.

Loris likes to run on his Aprilia, which he regards as the best motorbike. His races with this team are difficult but interesting, and he is still quite emotional about the setting. He also says that driving a motorbike involves many difficulties and hardships. He feels that one can't do this work for money, but for passion. The job is very dangerous, but thanks to new motorbike modifications, it's safer than in the past. In fact, mechanics are doing many tests to improve performances and to make their motorbikes even more competitive.


Loris's competitors are formidable, from the first to the last, particularly Biaggi who has won the world championship. Loris's races with him are difficult, in fact between them it's very difficult to maintain a friendship Waldman, Harada, and Jacques are also Loris' competitors. Besides his talent for motorbike racing, (We haven't no doubts about that!), Loris has told us that he is fond of skiing, soccer, and tennis. Our Loris is likes to work with youth. In fact in the next championship he will be available to help young Valentino Rossi, who he believes has talent and speed. He regards him as a friend and he hopes Valentino becomes a champion, also. To conclude our meeting, Loris signed posters for each of us.

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE <div class='quotemain'>Ducati Marlboro star Loris Capirossi became the latest MotoGP rider to switch from two to four-wheels when he made his debut behind the wheel of a World Touring Car Championship SEAT Leon, at the Bologna Motor Show on Sunday.
The Italian was taking part in the 'Bomb Boogie Eurotouring' event, which saw him racing the 2-litre, front wheel drive machine - which features a six speed sequential gearbox - against a field that included his SEAT event team-mate Giovanni Calabrese, San Marino Driving Federation president Stefano Valli (in a BMW series 3) and WTCC racer/team manager Marco Antonelli (Alfa Romeo 156).
But it was Antonelli's team-mate Adriano De Micheli, an experienced WTCC independent driver, who eliminated Capirossi in the quarter finals of the competition - held in front of a large crowd in the Motor Show's Lonsdale Arena.
However, Capirossi could take comfort from the fact that De Micheli went on to beat team-mate Antonelli in his semi-final and then Valli's Zerocinque Motorsport BMW 320i to claim overall victory in the final.

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE <div class='quotemain'>Loris Capirossi: "Completely concentrate on riding"

Bridgestone’s 2006 e-reporter winner and automobilsport.com-author Martin Westerhoff caught up with Ducati’s Loris Capirossi on the MotoGP season finale at Valencia/Spain.



Loris, after a season which saw you three times on the podium you are fourth in point standings, with eight points behind Marco Melandri, still in the hunt for place 3 in the championship. After your third place in today’s qualifying - do you think that Valencia is a track which suits more to you and Ducati than to your rival and his Honda team?

I think everyone in our team did a great job today. We were quiet fast from the beginning of the first practise session. We found a good setup on the bike and the tires. I feel very comfortable and that makes me confident for tomorrow’s race where we should be able to finish the season in a good position.



A season’s finale is always a bit of mental pressure. Do you think it will help you that you are nine years older and more experienced as Melandri?

I don’t care a lot of those mental thinks. I have no problem with these thinks. I’m racing since 17 years but that’s not the point. You have a good condition considering your brain, you must be able to completely concentrate on riding the bike every time when you go out on the track.



Your team-mate Sete Gibernau is recovering from injuries sustained in an accident earlier this season. How big is the disadvantage you have through that in developing your Ducati machine?

I have a really good relationship with Sete. But the problem is that we can’t exchange so much on the setup because he has a different riding style. We were both developing the same machine, but both in a different way. I’m quiet happy with my setup and so I’m confident for this weekend.



You are the most successful rider on Bridgestone tires so far. Can you tell us more about how you are working together with them?

I have a really good relation to their staff. They did everything to develop a good tire for my style. I believe a lot in Bridgestone and I would like to thank them for what they did this season. As I said, we already have a good relation. But we need to get a even better one to reach our common goals for the next season.



Last but not least: What are you going to do during the off-season?

Well, to be honest: I have no off-seasons. We have sponsors and after the race I have nearly more things on my schedule as during this race weekend. But if I get some free time, I always love to stay at my home and to relax there.

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (frosty58 @ Nov 29 2006, 03:38 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}><div class='quotemain'>iulia yer not much of a capirossi fan are ya!

what gives ya that idea kev??

from the ducati website:

Capirossi’s first world crown was a truly remarkable accomplishment. Aged just 16 at the start of the 1990 season, he made his GP debut as number two rider to team-mate and ex-World Champion Fausto Gresini, now a successful MotoGP team manager. He approached the season as an apprenticeship and yet showed no fear for the experienced opposition, scoring his first podium at Misano in May, his first win at Donington Park in August and securing the title with a hard-fought third victory in the Australian season finale. With the number one plate on his Honda RS125 in 1991, Capirossi was the man everyone wanted to beat, but he admirably shrugged off the pressure, winning a further five victories for his second title.

For 1992 Capirossi graduated to 250s. His Honda RS250 production bike wasn’t as rapid as the factory machines ridden by many of his rivals, but it proved a perfect introduction to the ultra-competitive class. Once again Capirossi proved a quick learner, up with the leaders in only the third GP of the year. For 1993 he was equipped with full-factory NSR250s and immediately fulfilled the previous season’s promise. He won his first 250 GP at Assen and took two more victories to lead the series into the final race, when an incorrect tyre choice lost him the crown. Capirossi could have been forgiven a tantrum following his misfortune but was as dignified in defeat as he is in victory. His 1994 season began with wins in Austria, Germany, France and Britain but he succumbed to Max Biaggi’s super-fast Aprilia later in the campaign, finishing third overall.

Some experts questioned the diminutive star’s decision to quit 250s and join the premier 500 class with Team Pileri Honda in 1995. But the ever-determined youngster proved them wrong by qualifying on the front row at only his second 500 GP. He scored four more front-row starts but struggled with machine set-up over race distance. Nevertheless, he crowned the season with a thrilling third-place finish at Catalunya.

Capirossi changed teams for the first time in 1996, joining Yamaha Team Rainey. This was an up-and-down year, brightened by his first 500 GP victory at Eastern Creek, Australia, but in the long term he benefited hugely from the wisdom of team boss Wayne Rainey, a former three-time 500 king. For 1997 Capirossi accepted an offer from Aprilia to return to the 250 class – he had unfinished business there. This first season with the Italian manufacturer brought no wins, but he got to grips with the V-twins the following summer, taking the crown following a controversial last-race collision with team-mate and title-rival Tetsuya Harada. In 1999 he returned to NSR250 power, ending up third overall.

Capirossi changed classes once more in 2000, returning to the premier class with Sito Pons’ Honda team. He won the Italian GP and finished on the podium a further three times. As ever, he showed remarkable courage in the face of injury – after scoring his first 500 pole at the Dutch GP he fell in morning warm-up, breaking his left hand. And yet he raced, with the aid of painkillers, to a remarkable third-place finish. Capirossi put together a more consistent 2001, taking his year-old Honda to podium finishes in nine races. In 2002 he was once again on year-old machinery, riding an out-classed 500cc two-stroke against the new breed of 990cc four-strokes.

In 2003 Capirossi was given the envious task of spearheading Ducati’s first premier-class effort in more than three decades. He had a remarkable year on the all-new V4 that shocked the established Japanese teams with its astonishing speed. During June he beat champ Valentino Rossi to take a hugely emotional victory at Catalunya after earlier scoring the bike’s first pole position at Jerez. He achieved a total of five podium finishes and three poles to end the year fourth.

The 2004 season proved to be more difficult, Capirossi focusing on bike development before returning to the limelight in 2005. He took podium finishes in Italy and the Czech Republic, back-to-back wins in the Japanese and Malaysian GPs and a hat trick of poles, thanks to crucial machine improvements and Ducati’s new association with Japanese tyre maker Bridgestone. He may even have finished the year second overall but for a big crash during practice for the Australian GP.
