Loris Capirossi had a very nasty crash at the Ramshoek, the very fast left hander before the GT chicane, and suffered a deep flesh wound. He will not ride for the rest of the weekend, but Suzuki have for some reason decided not to run Ben Spies, who is present at Assen, in his place. This is the same corner where Toni Elias suffered a spiral fracture of his leg in 2007, and where Valentino Rossi and Toni Elias broke bones in 2006 as well.
