Pedrosa Crash On FP1 Motegi

Dani Pedrosa was crashed when FP1 MotoGP at Motegi just running on 6 minutes. This Spaniard is the only one rider who can beat Jorge Lorenzo as the leader. Now we'll wait for Pedrosa, he will back for this weekend race or not. According to the circuit official, Dani Pedrosa is suspected injury on his collarbone. Pedrosa was lost control under braking and limped from the bike. He was carried away from track on a stretcher. 

If Pedrosa cannot race again for Motegi and rest of this season race, Lorenzo will get his 1st title on MotoGP. Lorenzo now is 56 points ahead Dani Pedrosa after he miss his 1st podium on this season last 2 weeks at Aragon.

Capirossi Ready For Motegi After Injury

Loris Capirossi totally ready for this weekend race at Motegi, Japan. This Italian rider said that he is ready for the Twin-Ring Grandprix. 

“My finger is at about 90%, but it is only a finger so I am totally ready for the weekend. I am still having physiotherapy every day to get it better and will continue until the race, so by then it should be ok. I love Motegi, It is my favourite race track of the year and I have good memories from there. I have won three times and it would be amazing to challenge the front guys – especially as it is a big weekend for Suzuki. I know that it is tough out there, but anything is possible and we have got to keep believing in ourselves.”

Capirossi has an enviable record at the 4,801m Japanese circuit; he has won three MotoGP races and been on the podium a further three times. Rizla Suzuki hopes for a better result at this circuit. Loris Capirossi's partner Alvaro Bautista have a different opinion about Motegi.

“Motegi is not one of my favourite circuits, it is a bit too plain and does little to test a rider, it is just a lot of straights and then short corners put together, so it is difficult to get a flowing rhythm. I have done quite well there in recent years though so I probably don’t dislike it that much! We still have a lot of work to do on the GSV-R, but we are improving every race and so is my riding, I know I need to qualify better on the Saturday, because this is leaving me a lot of work to do in the race, so that is my first priority this weekend. If I can get on the first couple of rows who knows what might happen in the race.”

Let's see how Rizla Suzuki can fight on this weekend race at Motegi
