With just two races left in the season, and last in the standings, Loris Capirossi has decided to take part in this weekend’s Portuguese GP, despite having small multiple fractures in his right foot sustained at Sepang, and a groin injury picked up during the Phillip Island round.
“It was disappointing to find out I had got some small fractures in my foot, but it won’t stop me riding, because I was ok in Australia and it didn’t cause me too many problems there – in fact it is easier to ride the bike than it is to walk! ” said the 37-year-old Capirossi.
“I have had some intensive treatment on the thigh muscle and that is also a lot better.
I can’t wait to get back on my bike and give the guys something back for all their patience and hard-work over the season, especially after the tough three-week tour we had on the other side of the world which gave us nothing but pain and bike damage.
Suzuki and the team have always been good to me and I want to show them that I am here to do my best and compete with the best riders.
”Capirossi is expected to ride for Pramac Ducati in 2011.
