MotoGP » Vermeulen 'having fun', but rain stops play.

Wednesday, 9th November 2005

New Suzuki signing Chris Vermeulen was prevented from building significantly on his initial Monday track time at Valencia, after bad weather descended on the Valencia circuit today (Wednesday) for what was supposed to be the first 'proper' day of MotoGP testing.

"Unfortunately soon after we found this the weather quickly turned to a negative so we didn't get the full use of what we found. We're looking forward to tomorrow being warmer, drier and less windy so we can get the best out of the new stuff.

"It's great to have Chris as a team-mate, I've already been over on his side of the garage and he's been over on mine talking and chatting," revealed the #21. "If he needs any help whatsoever over these next couple of tests to get up to speed I'm more than happy to help him.

"The sooner he can get up to speed and get to the full limit of the Suzuki GSV-R, the sooner we can start developing it together and get it to where it needs to be," the Anglo-American concluded.

"John and Nobu have again worked very hard and it is extremely important to the future success of the team as a whole for these tests to take place," added Denning. "It is only through the dedication of the riders and mechanics that we can hope to get Suzuki back challenging for honours. John's attitude seems clear – this is the first day of the 2006 season, let's get on with it!"

Team Suzuki now has one more day of testing at Valencia where all three riders will be back in action - weather permitting.
