Capirossi Announces Retirement at Conclusion of 2011 Season

Loris Capirossi announced he will retire at the end of the 2011 MotoGP season, closing off a quarter century of racing including 22 years at the Grand Prix level and three World Championships. “It’s an important moment in my career, and the decision I made has come about after a lot of reflection,” says Capriossi. “I’m happy that after 25 years, of which 22 were in the world championship, I’m at a point where I can still have a smile on my lips as I part ways, even if it’s difficult to think that I won’t be riding a bike next year.” The announcement was made during a press conference at Misano for the upcoming San Marino Grand Prix, the final Italian stop of the 2011 season.

New: Ducati 80s Leather Jacket

You can always count on Ducati to come out with decent retro-styled gear. The 80s jacket is made of premium 1-1.3mm thick waterproof cowhide, featuring stretch patches at the shoulders. CE-approved composite armour in the shoulders and elbows cushion any knocks while a breathable liner keeps you cool.

2014 Ducati 899 Panigale Spied

This sportbike has a double-sided swingarm instead of the single-sided swingarm found on the 1199 Panigale.
