 CAPIROSSI TO FLY TO EUROPE TONIGHT
Loris Capirossi was ruled out of today's Australian GP when he crashed heavily at Turn One on Friday. He sustained chest injuries in the fall, with internal bleeding around his right lung. Since then the Ducati MotoGP Team rider has been recovering in Melbourne's Cabrini hospital and he's now been passed fit to fly home to Europe. He will fly with a chest drain attached to drain the bleeding.

"The doctors decided it is best for Loris to fly home tonight," said Livio Suppo. "He will fly with Dr Corbascio, from the Clinica Mobile, and should meet Dr Claudio Costa tomorrow afternoon. Hopefully the chest drain will be taken off soon because it's causing him some pain. Otherwise he feels good and doesn't have any other injuries. For sure he will miss Turkey, but it's too early to talk about Valencia."
