MotoGP – Valencia Day 1 – Loris Capirossi finishes ninth

Loris Capirossi achieved only the ninth time today in Valencia, the last round of the 2009 world championship. The Suzuki rider who will have Alvaro Bautista as his teammate next year has had vibration problems but is convinced that by solving them he could be truly competitive. The word is up to him.

“We had a bit of vibration on the bike today and with only an hour of testing, we struggled to find enough time to get the best solution to solve the problem. We made a couple of changes to the setup to try to improve and in the end we found a good situation, but it's not perfect yet. We need to look at the data to find out what is causing the vibration and try to improve things for tomorrow. I'm sure that if we solve this problem we can be very fast here and finish the season well!”
