Capirossi injured in Thursday free practice; out of race
June 26th, 2008
Making his comeback from a hand injury sustained at Catalunya, Loris Capirossi made a good start to the Assen weekend in the first session. In the second he lost the back end when changing down from 6th to 4th gear and the bike landed on top of him, the footpeg puncturing a large hole in his right forearm. He is still recovering from a broken right hand.
The press release from Suzuki makes it clear that Spies, even though he is present at Assen, will not replace Capirossi for the race on Saturday. At this point it is not clear who, if anyone, will.
