It doesn't sound like Capirossi is 100% fit yet but good enough to give it a try. I'm sure he's worried about Suzuki seeing another rider on his bike but Capirossi has done well given the bike and package he has. When he gets to be 100% fit and able to provide more input on improvements needed I'm sure he'll continue to have better outcomes in races. He's already proved to be better than his team-mate who has more experience on the same bike. It would be a mistake if Suzuki doesn't sign him up for the next year or two. Based on this years performance I think that Vermullen has more to worry about if he doesn't contiue to improve his results.
