Loris Capirossi wins BMW Award at MotoGP appetiser
Loris Capirossi announced the arrival of Ducati to the MotoGP World Championship in stunning style today, sweeping the first BMW Best Qualifier Award of the season with a sensational lap at the Circuit de Catalunya. The Italian clocked a 1´43.634 to beat Alex Barros to the coveted BMW 330CD which was offered to the fastest man in a one hour timed session this afternoon. Barros also dipped under 1´44 as the prize became a two-man affair in an exciting finale to the session, with World Champion Valentino Rossi left almost half a second off the pace.
It is an outstanding achievement for Italian manufacturers Ducati, who only unveiled the L-shaped four-cylinder Desmosedici at Mugello in June last year, and for Capirossi who only rode the machine for the first time at Valencia in November. With Yamaha´s M1 also making giant strides at the hands of Barros, concrete evidence is now in place that Honda have at least two serious contenders for the MotoGP title they lifted in dominant fashion with Rossi and the RC211V last season.
Capirossi 325 km/h
Ik kan nu al niet meer wachten tot Suzuka
