Vermeulen on the podium at Rizla Suzuki MotoGP’s ‘home’ Grand Prix
Chris Vermeulen raced to a tremendous third-place at Donington Park today to give Rizla Suzuki MotoGP a podium in front of nearly 85,000 home fans at the British Grand Prix. Heavy rain had fallen over the 4km English circuit all day, including during this morning’s warm-up session that saw Vermeulen become a victim of the treacherous conditions as he suffered another big crash. As the race began the rain started to ease off and Vermeulen got off to a great start, getting up to third position by the second lap, but a problem with misting inside his helmet visor saw the Australian’s visibility hampered and he dropped back to fifth and at one point ran off the track. |

The British based Rizla Suzuki MotoGP team travels to Donington Park in England this weekend for the British Grand Prix, the next round of a so far profitable season, looking to continue with its fine run of form when it arrives on home-soil. Chris Vermeulen and John Hopkins arrive in England with 72 points each – more than both riders together had accumulated at the same time last season – looking to strengthen their positions in the championship on a track that both of them enjoy. The two Rizla Suzuki MotoGP racers qualified in second and fourth places last year respectively, and without a crash for Vermeulen and a late-race grip problem for Hopkins, could have both finished in higher positions. |
