FIRST PICTURES: Capirossi rides 800cc Ducati.
These are the first pictures of Czech Republic Grand Prix winner Loris Capirossi on Ducati's new-for-2007 800cc MotoGP prototype.
The Italian made his 800cc debut during Monday's opening day of a two day test at the Brno circuit, where he rode his 990cc Desmosedici to a dominating win on Sunday.
To date, Ducati is the only manufacturer to unveil its 800cc machine, which has previously been ridden in private by factory test rider Vittoriano Guareschi and d'Antin Ducati's Alex Hofmann, but Yamaha also has its as-yet-unseen 800 available for possible use at the test.
