Retired rider Loris Capirossi admires the rejoining of Valentino Rossi and Yamaha – MotoGP news
Retired rider Loris Capirossi supports the decision of Valentino Rossi of getting into a contract with Yamaha Factory Racing for the next 2013 season.
He said that Rossi has done the right thing by signing a contract with Yamaha because he is still the best on the circuit. He added that it is not expected that one can win with Ducati considering its current performance on the circuit.
Capirossi told Repubblica, “Valentino has done the right thing, because he's still the best and he knows that well, and because with Ducati you can't win anymore, at least not at the moment.”
Furthermore, he said that he is with Rossi along with the entire MotoGP world. He added that he needs to get back to his enthusiasm as soon as possible so that he may make it to the top.
He added, “I'm with Rossi, as is the entire MotoGP world, which needs a shake-up and to find again enthusiasm as soon as possible. It needs its champion, its hero, to return to the top.”
He added that Rossi could not be limited to a supporting role and he is a blessing for the sport. Furthermore, he said that he is sorry for Ducati that the Italian rider could not continue but the period will teach everyone a lesson.
“He couldn't carry on, I'm sorry for Ducati, but perhaps the end of this love story will teach everyone something. They didn't manage to keep up with the times,” he added.
Capirossi said that the team will talk about technical analysis and numbers and they would never listen to their rider. He added that for long they believed that the problem was with their rider but it actually was not.
He added that the bike Casey Stoner used when he won the champion was different. Moreover, he said that he too was able to make it to the podium twice with the Ducati he was using at that time. Besides, he said that he wants to see what Stoner can come up
with today’s Ducati.
Furthermore, he said that although Jorge Lorenzo is talented but his favourite for the next year is Valentino Rossi.
It is highly expected that in the upcoming 2013 season Rossi would be able to return to his same form as he had when he secured 7 championships.
