ロリス・カピロッシ：
グリット位置はベストじゃないけど、まぁ満足はしてる。週末通して頑張って努力したからね。二日間を通して、ちょっとした調整を加えることを始めて、目指した所に到達しつつあると思ってる。今日のリズムは良かったし、2ツのセッションで誰かを追いかけたりはしなかったよ。リズムとパフォーマンスがレースでどんな風になるかを理解するのに役だったし、よかったね。明日については楽観してるし、いいスタートが切れれば、前の方での争いに加われると思う。
アルバロ・バウティスタ：
モトGPの決勝にバイバイって言うなんてね！ 今朝、痛みをどうにかするために注射を打って、2周する間はちょっと気分が良くなったんだ。大した距離じゃないけど、でも良くなってた。そしたらクラッシュしたんだ。すごく速く走ってたわけじゃないし、ただリアタイヤを失ったんだ。なんでだかよく分からないよ。そのあと左側にさらに痛みを感じるようになって、ここでレースをすることはやめることにしたんだ。次のレースには完全に治してくるよ。この先たくさんのレースがあるし、50％以下で1つのレースをやるよりも、残りを100％でやる方がいい。
ポール・デニング（チーム・マネージャー）：
ロリスはすべてのセッションでタイムを更新し、決勝の前にもう少し物事の整理ができれば、明日はそれなりの結果を引き出すレース技術と決意を彼は持っていると思います。スタッフたちの徹夜の努力は、とりわけブレーキング・エリアにおいてバイクをいくらか乗りやすくし、安定性を少し向上させ、このことはレースの距離を走る上で重要なことになるでしょう。ロリスの得意なサーキットではありませんが、得意な天気ではあり、明日は今シーズンで一番いい成績を目指して、奮起し頑張ってくれると思います。
今週末の残りをアルバロが戦えないことは非常に残念なことです。しかし、最終的にチームと医療スタッフは、比較的軽傷だったケガをムジェロまでに治すために欠場するよう忠告しなければなりませんでした。複合したケガは彼の安全を脅かし、他のライダーの安全に及ぶ可能性もあります。彼は落胆していますが、ムジェロではしっかりした状態で臨めると保証されていますし、ヘレスの決勝での力強いパフォーマンスを積み上げていくことを楽しみにしています。

Third row for Capirossi at a sunny Le Mans
22/05/2010 15:18pm
Rizla Suzuki’s Loris Capirossi will start tomorrow’s French Grand Prix as the team’s sole rider from the third row of the grid after qualifying in ninth place today.
Capirossi (1’34.306, 26 laps) continued with the positive performance from yesterday during both the sessions today. He was consistently within touch of the front pack throughout the whole of the qualifying session and with a few more modifications to his Suzuki GSV-R this evening, he is confident he can have a strong race tomorrow.
Capirossi will be Rizla Suzuki’s only rider participating in tomorrow’s French Grand Prix, following the withdrawal of ?lvaro Bautista earlier today. Bautista suffered from a big high-side in this morning’s practice session and the fresh injuries he sustained ? added to his already broken collarbone ? forced him to make the decision to take no further part in this weekend’s events. He was disappointed about?not competing in France, but also mindful of getting back to full fitness for a hectic schedule ahead.
Today’s Qualifying was held in hot and sunny conditions with air temperatures reaching 28?C and track temperatures getting up to 46?C. World Champion Valentino Rossi set the fastest time of the day and will start tomorrow’s 28-lap race from pole position. The race gets underway at 14.00hrs local time (12.00hrs GMT); with Capirossi flying the flag for the Rizla Suzuki team.
Loris Capirossi:
“The grid position is not the best, but I am quite happy because we have worked so hard for the whole weekend. We started to adapt the bike a bit more over the two days and now I think we are close to getting what we are looking for. My rhythm today was good and I didn’t follow anybody at all in the two sessions, which is good because it helps us understand what the rhythm and performance will be like in a race. I am really optimistic for tomorrow and I think if I get a good start I can be involved in the action towards the front.”
?lvaro Bautista:
“It is not a good way to say bye-bye to a MotoGP race! This morning I had an injection to help with the pain and for two laps the feeling was a little bit better, not a big difference, but better. Then I crashed and I don’t really know why because I was not going very fast and I just lost the rear tyre. After that I felt more pain down my left side and I decided not to race here and make sure I make a full recovery for the next race. In the future we have lots of races together so it is better to be 100% in all of them, than be 50% or less in one!”
Paul Denning ?Team Manager:
“Loris has improved in all the sessions and if we can tidy things up a bit more before the Grand Prix, then I think?he has the race-craft and determination to grind out a decent result tomorrow. The focus for the crew overnight will be to make the bike a bit easier to ride, particularly in the faster braking areas, and to create a bit more stability, which will be important over race distance. This isn’t Loris’s favourite track, but it is certainly his favourite weather, so I think he’ll be fired-up and pushing for his best result of the season so far tomorrow.
“It is a great disappointment not to have ?lvaro competing for the rest of the weekend, but in the end the team and the medical staff at the track had to advise him to sit out and let the relatively minor injuries he has heal in time for Mugello. The combination of injuries would have significantly compromised his safety and possibly that of other riders. He’s disappointed, but we are now guaranteed that he’ll be fit and strong for Mugello and we’ll be looking forward to him building on his strong Jerez race performance.”
