Capirossi crashes in second free practice session at Assen

Rizla Suzuki rider Loris Capirossi, who missed the previous MotoGP round at Donington Park through injury, is currently being being treated for a deep cut suffered in a spectacular Thursday crash in Assen.

The Italian picked up a deep laceration to his right forearm, with flesh put back in place and the wound stitched up by the Clinica Mobile, but his hand on the same side -a breakage to which caused his absence from last week´s action- sustained no further damage in the huge highside.

Should Capirossi be unable to ride tomorrow, Donington replacement Ben Spies is in Assen and could perhaps make a second MotoGP appearance.
