Capirossi to make return at Assen

Capirossi to make return at Assen

Italian MotoGP rider Loris Capirossi will return to the fray in this weekend's TT at Assen after missing the British Grand Prix at Donington with an injured right hand.

He was replaced in Britain by AMA Superbike champion Ben Spies after crashing with Alex de Angelis in the Grand Prix of Catalunya, in Barcelona just over three weeks ago.

"I'm 100% certain that I am able to ride and I just can't wait to get back on my bike again," said Capirossi. "It was really difficult watching at the last race, but I want to say well done to Ben as he did a good job in his first GP.

"It certainly felt very strange seeing him working with my crew and sitting in my chair in the garage!

"I missed the test in Catalunya because of the injury, but I know Chris made some improvements to the bike so I will be looking at those and seeing if they will help me," he added.

"I need to carry on from where I left off and continue to make the bike better and I know that top result is just around the corner."
