Une première victoire pour Ducati en Espagne !

15/06/03 La marque italienne s'impose en GP dès sa première année en MotoGP. C'est Loris Capirossi qui offre cette victoire.

Loris Capirossi : "This is a fantastic day for me, the team, Ducati, Marlboro and for everyone who believes in us. The race was unbelievable. I had a big fight with Valentino, the rhythm wasn't so fast because the conditions were so tough, especially for the tyres. We were trying not to push too hard, and when Valentino tried to go faster he ran wide. After that I rode 100 per cent. I knew that it was Biaggi behind me, but then I got signals that Valentino was coming back very fast, so I tried not to lose concentration or to spin the rear too much. I never believed we'd win a race so soon, we're all so happy, but we also know there is much work to be done. The bike is very fast but we need to improve the set-up. There's still a long season ahead of us and I promise to give my best throughout."
