Loris Capirossi took the first steps of his fledgling Suzuki career today as he conducted his initial shakedown test onboard a carbon-fibre dressed Suzuki GSV-R at Valencia in Spain.
The experienced Italian joined Suzuki shortly after Sunday’s final round of the season here in Spain, and has immediately settled in with his new crew and environment. Capirossi made numerous changes to the bike during the half-day session and posted competitive times throughout his 35 laps.
Chris Vermeulen got his first taste of 2008 as he tested an early prototype version of the Rizla Suzuki GSV-R at the 4,005m Ricardo Tormo Circuit. He was impressed with the new machine and is looking forward to a full day’s testing tomorrow to thoroughly evaluate the bike. |

 Rossi - Laguna Seca Rossi lost some ground at the start and found himself behind Edwards for the first part of the lap. He quickly moved ahead of his team-mate however and the pair crossed the line for the first time in fourth and fifth respectively. On lap five Marco Melandri took Edwards and set off after Rossi, overtaking the Italian a few laps later and relegating him to fifth. After Melandri had in turn passed Dani Pedrosa, Rossi quickly began to close the gap on the Spaniard until he was able to strike at the end of lap twenty to claim fourth. For several laps he then looked to be closing the gap to Melandri but a lack of grip forced him to slacken off and he eventually crossed the line 30.664 seconds behind Stoner. |

Rizla Suzuki MotoGP’s Chris Vermeulen raced his Suzuki GSV-R to a fantastic second place in today’s American Grand Prix.
Starting from third on the grid, Vermeulen settled into that position for the first three laps and then passed Dani Pedrosa and set about chasing race leader Casey Stoner. Vermeulen and Stoner quickly pulled away from the rest of the field and as hard as Vermeulen tried he couldn’t quite catch the current World Championship leader. |

Chris Vermeulen put his Rizla Suzuki GSV-R on the front row of the grid at the American Grand Prix for the second successive year, as he qualified in third place today for Sunday’s race.
Vermeulen (1’22.590, 34 laps) set his fastest lap halfway through this afternoon’s hour-long qualifying session whilst still on race tyres. It looked as though his time would be good enough for pole as all riders had difficulty in bettering their race-tyre pace with the qualifying tyres. Vermeulen’s time was only beaten right at the end of the session by championship leader Casey Stoner - who secured pole position - and Dani Pedrosa. |
