As the 2011 MotoGP silly season continues, Loris Capirossi's manager has
revealed he is exploring the possibility of a return to Ducati.

Capirossi has plenty of history with Ducati, having joined the Italian
factory for its debut MotoGP season in 2003 and then going on to win its
first MotoGP races, but a 'bad' year alongside title winner Casey Stoner in
2007 saw the Italian replaced by Marco Melandri.

Capirossi 在2003年與DUCATI共同創造該廠在MOTOGP的第一次參賽，並且幫這個品牌
贏得了最早的幾個分站勝利；但是在隊友Stoner奪冠的2007年，Capirossi「表現不好」
的一年導致他在隔年被 Marco Melandri 取代。

However, in hindsight, that bad year was actually not so bad, given the
experiences of Melandri and then Nicky Hayden alongside Stoner in 2008 and
2009.

但是從事後觀點看來，與08年的Melandri和09年的Hayden相較，那年「不好的表現」其
實也不算太差。

Capirossi took one race win, in the same wet/dry event that Stoner lifted the
title, plus three other podiums for seventh in the final standings, having
scored 166 points from the 18 rounds.

07年Capirossi獲得一個單站勝利，以及其他三個頒獎台，以總積分166獲得年度第七。

By comparison, replacement Melandri scored just 51 points during the
following (18-round) season for 17th in the championship, while Hayden
claimed 13th with one podium and 104 points last season (17-rounds).

比較起來，08年Melandri在總賽站數目18場的賽季只獲得慘澹的51分，排名第17；而
09年的Hayden也只獲得104分，總排第13(共17站賽事)。

Meanwhile, Capirossi's move to Rizla Suzuki for 2008 has so far yielded just
one podium and a best of ninth in the championship (2009), while 2010 has
started frustratingly, with two falls from the first three races - the same
fate as former team-mate Stoner.

同時，轉到Suzuki之後，Capirossi至今只上過一次頒獎台，最佳年度成績也只有在09年
排名第九。

The 37-year-old recently told Crash.net of his desire to remain in MotoGP for
the new 1000cc rules in 2012, but his Suzuki contract ends this year and
Capirossi's manager Carlo Pernat told Italia 1 at Le Mans that he is speaking
to Ducati about the possibility of a satellite bike for 2011.

最近這位37歲的選手告訴Crash.net說他希望能在頂級賽事待到1000cc復活的2012年。Le
Mans的賽事過程中，經紀人Carlo Pernat告訴Italia 1電視台他們正在與DUCATI討論以
衛星車隊出賽2011賽事。

That would mean a ride for Pramac or Aspar, or even a new one rider team.

(可能出現新的一人車隊??!)

How serious the contact has been is not known, but Ducati would surely
welcome such an experienced rider back into their ranks - although with
rookie Alvaro Bautista already signed for 2011, Suzuki would surely be
reluctant to lose the vastly experienced #65.

Alvaro Bautista已經與SUZUKI續約到2011，而該車隊勢必也不會輕言放棄這位經驗豐富
的65號車手。
