It's hard to get on the gas, complains Capirossi.
Loris Capirossi returned to the track after missing the last two races with a broken wrist. The tough Italian put in a typical gritty performance for the West Honda Pons team and was tenth fastest despite problems with his wrist, less than one second behind Rossi.
"I'm quite happy with my times because I still have problems on my right side," said Capirossi. "It is very hard to get on the gas because of my injured wrist and so after not racing for so long my times are OK.

"I think I'm about 70 % fit and I'm sure I can improve my lap times tomorrow but it will be very hard in the race on Sunday. Dr Costa is helping me a great deal but we need time and I should be fully fit by the race in Portugal. The bike is good and tyres are good and the only problem is my wrist," admitted Capirex.
