Rizla Suzuki MotoGP rolling out for the fans
Loris Capirossi and Chris Vermeulen will be back in action
this weekend as they travel to Assen in The Netherlands to
attend the Rizla Racing Day.
While the rest of the paddock is on a mid-season break, Capirossi
and Vermeulen will be taking time out of their well-earned
holiday to entertain the thousands of fans expected at the
Assen circuit on Sunday 3rd August.
The Rizla Suzuki MotoGP racers will demonstrate the awesome
power of the Suzuki GSV-R around the 4,555m Dutch circuit
during two five-lap sessions. This will give the army of Rizla
fans at trackside the chance to experience the sight - and
especially the sound - of Suzuki’s MotoGP machine.
The Rizla Racing Day is supported by Suzuki and is an annual
event held every August at the Assen TT circuit. It is unique
in that it features many forms of motorsport during the same
day including karts, motorcycles, supercars and a round of
the ATS Formel-3-cup.
The all-day long event gets underway at 10.00am local time
with Capirossi and Vermeulen taking to the track at 12.10
for the first of their two runs. Admission to Rizla Racing
Day is free for all, with tickets and more information available
online at www.rizla.nl
Loris Capirossi:
“I am really looking forward to this event as I have
heard many good things about it. It will be great to see all
the cars and bikes that are there and be able to witness them
out on track. I have had a couple of weeks off the bike now
and my arm is a lot better so this will give me a chance to
see how well it is recovering – I know it is only a
demonstration but I will give the bike a good run to show
all the fans what it can do!”
Chris Vermeulen:
“This is the second year that I have attended the Rizla
Race Day and I am really looking forward to going back –
I am even flying back from Australia so I can participate
in the day! We got a great reception there last year, especially
from people who had never seen or heard a MotoGP bike and
I’d like to think we converted them into not only MotoGP
fans, but Rizla Suzuki fans as well. I’ll certainly
be putting on a show for all the people there and make sure
they leave with a positive experience of what a MotoGP bike
is all about.”
