MotoGP: Loris Capirossi will tie all-time record in Brno

MotoGP Rizla Suzuki rider Loris Capirossi will put down his name in the record books in Brno as he will equal the record for the most MotoGP starts along with record holder Alex Barros with 276 races.

Capirossi is optimistic for Brno as he still hold the lap record and won as recently as 2006. He is still recovering from an arm injury he sustained at Assen in June, but hopes the four-week break since Laguna Seca has given it time to heal.
