They may stand a better chance next year, new bike and Chris Vermulean riding

John Hopkins is arguably the biggest commodity in MotoGP today. I think the young Aussie will be trying hard to catch up all year.

I supported Chris and his team throughout the CBK rounds when he was with team kate. I did not actually have a team that I supported on moto gp and think this ones good enough, even if it is a soooooooooki team. Once Chris finds his feet, hopefully a few surprises will be forthcoming.

My mind still only associates Kevin Shwantz with Suzuki and the brilliant rider he was, all those years ago. Suzuki still hasn't had a particularly successfull GP rider since then. Maybe things will change.

holy shit that thing looks tiny

We'll wait and see about Vermeulen.

Hopkins deserves a better bike than he's had to ride in the last couple of years. If I were the Repsol boss I would've been doing my best to headhunt him.

hmmm not as nice as some of the others, i dont like the rear piece with the exaust sticking out.

but some one explain to me that cool looking gear shifter!!

You're right, that is rather cool. Should be easier to use as well cos it looks like it hinges on the foot peg so it's movement matches that of the foot.
