I see Ben's golden personality shone through at Donington, way to make an impression by keeping his movie star, mirrored shades on all weekend even inside the pits, thus assuring no eye contact with anyone.

He rode a hell of a race, but boy does he love himself.

Old Capirossi is sweating it for sure,  ....... must..... ride..... bike...... can't...... be.... kicked out!! popcorn

commentators made several comments about his work ethic, attitude, and how generally well received he was by the paddock.

shiiiiiit... 2nd time on that bike, first time in any kind of race situation, carbon brakes, different tires, never seen the track before, it's raining, it's not raining, it might rain..

i might wear my helmet in the paddock.  keeping a gameface in that situation would be effin hard.

john haner used to sit in his pit area with his helmet on and his eyes shut for like 10-15 minutes before a race. nobody dared walk up and talk to him at all.

I was talking to a friend yesterday about Cap not sitting out Assen, I don't think he can afford to.

motogp.com say Ben will be "supporting the team" at Assen.

http://www.motogp.com/en/news/2008/Capirossi+to+return+to+Rizla+Suzuki+for+Dutch+Grand+Prix

WTF does that mean?

Actually, I think he'll be there for the possibility of Loris realizing he can't ride with a broken hand.
Loris ain't 21 like Lorenzo, that's a bad move IMO.

He'll be easy pickings for outbraking, eh?
