Australian rider, Chris Vermeulen, entered the MotoGP scene in 2006 after capturing the runner-up SBK slot in 2005. He made his debut with Suzuki and has been with them ever since. His first MotoGP season was successful, taking two poles and a second place finish in Australia
His second season with Suzuki proved to show more promise as he became familiar with the international circuits, scoring him a victory at Le Mans after an unspectacular 12th position qualifying round. His second podium race of the season was certainly one for the books, coming in second to fellow countryman, Casey Stoner after a wicked shoot-out at Laguna Seca.
Vermeulen has chosen to remain faithful to Suzuki, even though there has been interest from other camps. In 2008, he was joined by Loris Capirossi, and the team will continue to run in 2009, as Chris looks to improve on his MotoGP career.
