Veteran rider Loris Capirossi will be presented with an award in a special ceremony tonight at the Losail race track after the qualifying session to commemorate his 300th grand prix start on Sunday.
Capirossi already holds the record for the most Grand Prix starts of any rider in the history of motorcycle racing – his 277th race at Misano in 2008 overtook the previous record held by Alex Barros and the first race of 2010 will see the experienced Italian begin his 21st season and third decade at the pinnacle of Grand Prix racing.
Before tomorrow’s race Capirossi will also have a surprise for all his fans that will be revealed in a special photo session in the Rizla Suzuki pit-box.
