Loris Capirossi will be making an ahead of schedule return to take part in the upcoming German GP at Sachsenring, despite not being totally fit.
The Italian rider missed the Assen and Mugello races after sustaining rib and shoulder injuries during qualifying at Assen, and was expected to also miss the Sachsenring and Laguna Seca rounds after Pramac Ducati announced that they were going to field Superbike rider Sylvain Guintoli as his replacement rider and even giving their former rider an opportunity to test the GP11 during the official MotoGP tests at Mugello last Monday.
“I feel better, but my physical condition is still not acceptable,” said Capirex.
“I’m doing daily physical therapy sessions at the medical center IM2S of Monaco.
I already missed two races, that Mugello the most important for me.
I want to ride my bike as soon as possible.
”Capirossi will still have to pass the medical commission’s physical and if he’ll actually be able to ride remains to be seen, so Guintoli will probably remain on standby.
