Capirossi in, Spies out for Assen
Capirossi broke his hand at Catalunya, forcing the Italian rider to miss the British Grand Prix June 22. Reigning AMA Superbike champion Ben Spies filled in for Capirossi at the Donington Park race, finishing 14th in his MotoGP debut. Capirossi watched from the sidelines as Spies and teammate Chris Vermeulen raced their Suzuki GSV-R bikes at Donington.

Spies will attend the Assen race as he continues to soak in the MotoGP experience in preparation for his wildcard appearances in the two American stops on the tour, July 20 at Laguna Seca in Monterey, Calif. and Sept. 14 in Indianapolis, Ind. at the famous Indianapolis Motor Speedway.
