When asked from Loris Capirossi is he’d ever been tempted to go to WSB, as a taster. After all, Loris is something of a hard-edged racer who likes a bit of elbow-to-elbow contact and the WSB series is well-known for delivering that by the bucketload.
“While I can be fast enough to race in this championship I would not want to leave,” the former 125 and 250cc World Champion said.
“I want to stay here for as long as I can and I will do as much as I can to do that. The moment you leave, the door shuts and you cannot come back.”
Here was the man who’d taken the world crown on more than one occasion, riding for one of the highest-profile teams in the world and even he came across as being a bit scared about his spot on the GP grid.
So the news that former 250cc World Champion Marco Melandri, who has now been left very high and dry by the withdrawal of Kawasaki’s factory effort from the MotoGP championship, has said that he would be happy to have a year away from MotoGP and return in 2010, is very puzzling indeed.
“It wouldn’t be great but ... to stop for a year would not be a huge problem,” he said.
“I’m waiting. I hope the date is not put back because it is better to know for sure that you won’t be racing, rather than carrying on with uncertainty,” he added.
