Loris Capirossi is no longer the “Capirex” of yesteryear on the track but still takes care of it, focusing on his safety for Dorna. Member of the Race Direction, he also appreciates the evolution of a competition which always fascinates him and especially this year with a title race which promises to be open until the last deadline in Valencia. And he is already looking forward to the next one to follow, with Marc Marquez who will find himself on a Ducati, a machine to play in front...
On 'TuttoSport' via Radio Cusano Campus, Loris Capirossi gave his impressions on the news of a MotoGP which he is now watching from Race Direction. And it begins with this thought for fire Fausto Gresini, which sees its eponymous stable welcoming in 2024 a Marc Marquez that we no longer present… “ I am very happy for Gresini Racing MotoGP, and having been a great friend of Fausto, I am sorry that he was not able to see this goal of such magnitude achieved during his lifetime ».
He adds : " I think any team would love to have a driver like Marc Marquez on their side. I am sure that next year a lot will change because he will become a very important driver again. It is without a doubt a courageous choice and what pushed him to do it was the desire to win again ».
Loris Capirossi: “ Pecco Bagnaia is a more complete driver and I see him more as a title candidate »
The Italian also has a thought for Honda : “ unfortunately, the Honda was no longer, for him, a winning bike like it was in the past. He preferred to take the step into a team which still gives him chances of triumphing again. It's not easy but in my opinion, his talent and the desire he has to return to the game will help him 100% ».
On the appearance of the title race, Loris Capirossi comments: “ we have Bagnaia who is defending his 2022 world champion title but we have a young Martin who is doing very well. In the last five sprint races he has won everything and is getting closer. But I say experience is an important factor. Pecco is a more complete driver and I see him more as a title candidate, but you always have to be careful ».
