When Loris Capirossi announced at Misano he would be retiring from MotoGP racing we more or less knew that the former two time 125cc and one time 250cc World Champion would stay close to the GP world in some capacity and we’re betting that he would become a safety delegate (he and Valentino Rossi founded the Riders Safety Commission in 2003 after Kato’s death) and help Franco Uncini.

Dorna Sports has instead given the former rider a much vaster advisory role on matters relating to safety, the new regulations, the competition in general and the homologation of new tracks (he has already visited and given his opinion on the Imola and Abu Dhabi circuits) .

Twenty two years is a very long career in the GP championship series, so Dorna to honour Capirossi ‘outstanding contribution to the sport’ has requested that the FIM retire his #65 from racing.
