Seriously.

But I think the time is right for him, he's not fully fit and not racing at his previously very high standard of late.

He'll be missed, but I think it's a good decision.

Any fool can ride a bike( Mr. Green ), but to be competitive in motogp. Not like the Inters group is it.

As much as I admire him, and loved his earllier years of riding, this decision should have been taken last year imo. Same with Colin Edwards.

Move down to WSB level or lower, and let the new generation of youngsters grab their shot at the top level.

Fair play though, some epic riding by Caparossi. Esp some mental arsed power sliders in the 1000cc era.

i would have really enjoyed watching Capirex in WSB racing Biaggi and Checa again. Shame

He has looked a bit dangerous this year, i know hes been injured but i dont think his brain has been in the right gear.

Maybe if he'd gone to WSB earlier..Ooo the rubber on leather..
They should give him a 10 second head start for the last rounds. Mr. Green

Was watching vintage 500cc races on youtube earlier (because I'm really sad) and my god he's aged.
