Not many riders get a bike named after them, but today (Thur🎀sday) at the Bologna Motorshow Ducati will present the Monster 620 CA🐈PIREX to the public - a machine dedicated to MotoGP star Loris Capirossi.
Capirossi, together with Troy Bayliss, rode the marque's Desmosedici V4 in its debut GP season in 2003 - the Italian claiming nine podiums, three pole positions and🏅 a landmark victory for the Bologna based company.
That win marked the only occasion that Honda were beaten in 2003, and helped Ducati finish their rookie MotoGP season a magnificent second in the Manufacturers' Championꦓsh⛦ip.
The Monster 620 CAPIREX - 'Capirex' is Capirossi's nickname - ha💦s a red fairing, seat cover and tank (see pictures), with a latera🦹l white stripe, which vertically cuts across the top of the tank.
In addition, the bike sports the "Capirex" official logo on the windscreen's Plexiglas, and🍰 also Loris's official '65' race number.
Both Capওirossi and Bayli♔ss, who will continue with the factory Ducati Marlboro team next season, will be present at the Bologna Motorshow - along with their Desmosedicis - on December 8.
Peter has been in the paddock for 20 years and has seen Valentino Rossi come and go. He is at the forefront of the Suzuki exit story💃 and Marc Marquez’s injur🐷y issues.
