Capirossi Tastes Podium Success in UK Rally
10 November 2008
Rizla Suzuki MotoGP racer Loris Capirossi had a successful rally debut yesterday as he drove his Suzuki Swift to third place in the Swift Sport Cup, and ninth position overall in the two-wheel drive section of the Tempest Rally. Capirossi started the day steadily in his Group N car as he came to terms with the demanding 80km of special stages held in the forests and Military training grounds around the Hampshire town of Aldershot in England. As the day progressed, Capirossi became more confident with the incredible performance and handling of the Swift and moved through the field before eventually getting into the top-three in the later stages. He pushed hard as darkness fell, but couldn’t quite find the few seconds that he needed to progress further up the leader-board. With comprehensive assistance from experienced co-driver Craig Thorley, Capirossi brought his number 65 Suzuki Swift home in third place, just 14 seconds away from the eventual Swift Sport Cup rally - and championship – winner Mark Gamble.

Fighting Sixth for Rizla Suzuki’s Capirossi at Motegi
28 September 2008
Rizla Suzuki MotoGP racer Loris Capirossi produced a hard fought race to bring his Suzuki GSV-R home in sixth position at Motegi today. Starting from sixth on the grid, Capirossi maintained the position early on as he kept up with the break-away front group, but a mistake on lap 12 cost him dearly and he dropped back towards the following pack. He chased back to Nicky Hayden in fifth, and was close enough to make a challenge on the last lap, but he had a big slide and the opportunity disappeared. Capirossi scored 10 points for his sixth place finish and has now moved up to ninth in the riders’ championship.
