Loris Capirossi has 🍃aborted his attempt at a MotoGP comeback in Germany this weekend and will reluctantly hand his Pramac Ducati over to sta🔯nd-in Sylvain Guintoli for the rest of the Sachsenring event.

Cꦕapirossi, who broke ribs and injured his shoulder in a qualifying crash at Assen late last month, was 17th and last in Friday morning's first practice session🍬.

Guintoli, a foཧrmer MotoGP rider who now races in World Superbike, tested for Pramac after the Italian Grand Prix and was expected to replace Capirossi this weekend - until the Italian v💛eteran's surprise decision to try and ride.

Frenchman Guintoli, wཧho admitted to having a tough time readapting to MotoGP at the Mugello test, willℱ be competing in his first grand prix since Valencia 2008.
