GP Star Admires TT "Real Men" Racers
Date: Jan.19.2010
Suzuki MotoGP star Loris Capirossi has quipped that TT road racing is for the sport's 'real men' - and that the premier class in which he has competed in twelve seasons since 1995 is only 'for girls'.
The three-time world champion said he hopes to be in the Isle of Man for this year's TT, which runs from 29 May to 11 June, to help Suzuki mark 50 years of competition.
Speaking at the star-studded Adelaide Racer Awards in Belfast, Capirossi admitted his admiration of TT road racers and quipped, by comparison, that he is 'really a girl'.
“Compared to what you guys do I am really a girl, you are real men,” the Italian joked. “I am 100 per cent not thinking about ever going road racing!
“I hope to be in the Isle of Man during TT week to help celebrate Suzuki's 50 years in road racing, but I will be going round in a car!”
