Loris Capirossi gives thumbs up for Buddh Circuit
New Delhi, 20 Sept. 2023: The Safety Advisor to Dorna Sports Loris Capirossi has given the thumbs up to the Buddh International Circuit for the weekend’s MotoGP Bharat.
Capirossi is a former Grand Prix rider and a 9-time Premier Class race winner, competing between 1990 and 2011. He was the first Grand Prix rider to start at least 300 races, having made his 300th start at the 2010 season-opener Qatar Grand Prix. Capirossi is the 1990 and 1991 125cc World Champion, the 1998 250cc World Champion, while also holding the honour of Youngest World Champion in motorcycle racing, winning the 1990 125cc title at 17 years and 165 days old.
Capirossi, the Safety Advisor to Dorna Sports took a ride to test the quality of the track and impressed with the layout of the circuit.
He took rides at the Buddh International Circuit and stated that he is pleased with the layout of the track and it would be interesting to find out the winner of the race among the best MotoGP riders in the world.
“Everything seems to be going smoothly and I am really pleased with the layout of the track. There are fast corners and good braking points and it will be interesting to see how each of the riders race here,” commented Capirossi.
Organized by FairStreet Sports, Capirossi also revealed his favourites to win the IndianOil Grand Prix of India.
He stated, “The level of MotoGP is really high at the moment as every rider is really close however his pick for the Indian Grand Prix includes Marco Bezzecchi and Jorge Martin are also great riders and can win the race, while the fastest man on the MotoGP bike Brad Binder is also a contender for the win. It’s just conformity of the track that takes you to victory. Francesco Bagnaia is also someone who can win the race but he is not 100 percent after the crash in Barcelona but it will be interesting to see who wins. “
The result of these races will also depend on the parabolic nature of the track as Capirossi seemed fairly satisfied with its quality after the test drive. He stated, “The turns from four to seven are really nice, while the parabolic is exciting as well. The riders will be here in India for the first time and I am really excited.”
