Capirossi announces retirement

Loris Capirossi will retire from motorcycle racing at the end of the season. The 38-year-old Italian made the announcement at Misano during the build-up to the San Marino Grand Prix, almost breaking down in tears at the time. "It's difficult for me to say this, because after 22 seasons this will be my last race in Italy because at the end of the year, I will retire," he said, before receiving a standing ovation in the circuit press room
