Loris Capirossi attends the showing of the new AutumnWinter 06/07 street wear collection from C’N’C. Bologna, 21st February 2006 During a well-earned break from winter testing, Loris Capirossi attended yesterday’s showing of the new Autumn-Winter street wear collection from C’N’C which took place at the l’Arco della Pace in Milan. Together with many VIPs, journalists and his beautiful wife Ingrid, the Ducati MotoGP Team rider was one of the first to be able to admire Ennio Capasa’s new designs, which included pieces inspired by the Borgo Panigale-based production house. These will be available at most shops that stock C’N’C clothing. The success of the spring/summer 2006 line, produced under the label “C’N’C Ducati”, therefore seems set to continue, strengthening the collaboration between Costume National and Ducati and the racing world. C’N’C will be the official sponsor of the Ducati MotoGP Team for 2006 with its logo clearly visible on the clothing of the riders and team members.
