There was evil, and he said it plainly, he does not like to controversy, but when he finds something to say more words and target. It was 2008, Loris Capirossi celebrate the first appearances of the circuits World Championship and took off some pebble in the shoe. "This world has changed. Today you're a number, unless you consider the most up to bring you the door. With no thanks ". And when asked if in some way had to do with Ducati's Capirossi drawing-thinking, he answered clearly. "I have broad shoulders, but I certainly have received quite a treat. That bike I've seen born, to grow, I took her to victory. Also in 2007, with Stoner in a state of grace. "
been more than two years and the old champion of Village Rivoli is always there. A plan for the future. Like when, a boy, won his first world title, con la Honda nella 125, e stabiliva un record che resta ancora oggi imbattuto: campione del mondo a 17 anni, cinque mesi e tredici giorni. Da allora, Capirex ha visto cambiare anche i giovani. «A quell’età giravo con mio padre, che guidava un furgone telonato dove dormivo prima delle gare. Oggi hanno già tutti il motorhome...»
Niente nostalgia, comunque. Futuro, appunto. Che gli regala anche un tuffo nel passato, quando si dice il destino. Dopo tre anni in Suzuki, l’ultimo dei quali tutto da dimenticare, Capirossi ritrova la Ducati. Non sarà quella ufficiale: su quella correrà Valentino Rossi, il re che cerca di risalire sul trono, probabilmente l’unico amico vero che gli è rimasto paddock in those increasingly cold, as in human relations. He will have a satellite team bikes, and moreover, not red. Biancoverde instead: that is, with the official colors of the Pramac Racing Team Paul Campinoti. One certainty in terms of technical quality and ability to make efficient half that will not, leaving the establishments already Ducati, differences exaggerated compared to the meteors of the parent. Certainly a step forward compared to the Rizla Suzuki last year. And a strong emotion, even for someone who is about to face the twenty-third of the MotoGP season in the big circus.
"I'm a kid, but a thirty-seven. That return has to do with Ducati indeed. Heading back to an Italian team, with an Italian bike, and face a new adventure. Another bet, and I would like to really win it. The Ducati is a beautiful piece of my story. We won, we grew up together in MotoGP. And the 800 I started to develop in 2007, I know. I believe, on this occasion. I still have something to prove, before retiring ... "
parallel destinies. Beside him, he will find that Toni Elias, as he did in the nineties, after a bad season in the premier class decided a year ago, "substandard" in Moto2. How Capirex in '98, even the Spaniard won his challenge. And now back to MotoGP world champion.

THE GREEN TEAM THAT DOES NOT FORGET THE ENVIRONMENT
Biancoverde not have chosen by chance. It just does not fit the surrounding landscape (the team is based in Casole d'Elsa, gently resting on a hill village in the Sienese mountains). Those in the Pramac Racing Team are keen to shout. And the colors have changed them on purpose, making "The Green Energy Team," and enthusiastically embracing the idea to do something, not only in words, for the environment. Hence the choice of using in the circuits on its facilities, products that can decrease the production of polluting energy, as well as to organize a series of initiatives related to saving the planet.
Moreover, the team led by Paul Campinoti, which has as its technical director Fabiano Sterlacchini in nine years of life has always been ahead of its time. Born in 2002, is the first team to grasp the potential of the Bridgestone tires and create a lasting partnership with the Japanese. In 2004 he was still cutting edge, launching the "fashion" of the pilots ... separate house in the choice of tires: Michelin Max Biaggi, Bridgestone Makoto Tamada. And after the turn of 2005, when the report comes with the Ducati team, there's more ... primates. In 2008 the team, "Made in Italy" won the podium at Brno and Misano, and became the only team to bring satellite twice his rider in the top three during the season. The best year to date. was 2004, with Biaggi third and Tamada sixth in the MotoGP World Championship. Now
Campinoti chose the experience of Capirossi, with the veteran to enter the circuit in the tenth year of operation of his stable. "Loris is an icon of the MotoGP, and I'm glad that you have chosen to join our team. It was not a negotiation complicated, because we have the same goal: to fight for good results and top placings. He lacks just one set to celebrate the hundredth career podium. I really hope that one day we can say that it has reached with us. And knowing his stubbornness, I think that really happen. "
