At the upcoming Grand Prix at Brno Rizla Suzuki rider Capirossi will equal the record for racing at Grand Prix events - currently held by Alex Barros. It will be his 276th start since his debut in 1990.
The vastly experienced Italian has an incredible record at the Brno circuit during his career with five podiums, including a win in 2006 and 10 front-row starts including three pole positions. Capirossi has only finished a race at Brno outside the top-six on one occasion from his 17 races there, and is currently the lap-record holder. Although he is still feeling the after-effects of the injury he sustained at Assen in June, he is 100% focussed and prepared to give it all he has got next weekend to add to the impressive results he has already achieved at Brno.
"I didn't know I was that close to equaling the record of racing at GP events!" Capirossi said. "I think there are a few guys from the old days that might have done more races, as they used to race two or three different bikes at every meeting, but it is a great achievement for me to have raced at as many as anyone else. My next target will be to make 300 - but the only important thing to me is that I am competitive and fighting with the best guys!"
