Yet Another Public Secret: Capirossi Confirmed At Pramac For 2011

The years of surprise rider signings are long behind us, the internet having kicked the rumor mill into overdrive - not that it needed much encouragement. So the official confirmation today that Loris Capirossi has signed for the Pramac Ducati team should surprise exactly nobody. Rumors of Capirossi's unhappiness with his current Suzuki ride have been circulating since the middle of the season, with the Italian veteran being linked with Pramac shortly afterwards.

Now, it has been made official, and the Italian will make a return to Ducati, albeit with the satellite Pramac squad. Conspiracy theorists point to that other Italian joining Ducati being behind the move, with rumors that Valentino Rossi helped the move along by pointing out Capirossi's long experience with the bike. Mentioning such subjects in the presence of anyone in a Marlboro Ducati uniform generally provokes laughter, so quite how seriously such suggestions should be taken is open to question. Below is the text of the press release:
