The Ducati Marlboro Team goes to Jerez aiming to maintain momentum following Casey Stoner's awesome maiden MotoGP victory at the season-opening Qatar Grand Prix on March 10. Last year's Jerez winner Loris Capirossi was out of luck at Losail but is confident he will be back up front in Spain, round two of MotoGP's longest-ever season.
The day after his superb win at Brno, Loris Capirossi makes his track debut with the new 800cc Ducati Desmosedici. Sete Gibernau, also present in the pit garage, had to sit out and watch. In the wake of Loris Capirossi's fifth win in MotoGP - and his second of the year - at the Brno track on Sunday, the Ducati pit garage was today the scene for more frenetic activity as the Italian team geared up for another important day of action at the Czech Republic circuit.
Ducati Marlboro Team riders Loris Capirossi and Sete Gibernau return to Europe from a run of three 'flyaway' races to contest the French GP, the first of a crucial run of six events at classic European racetracks.
