I really think the Suzuki isnt as bad as everyone makes out, I think the main problem is that they have 2 riders who dont seem very motivated, as well as a slow development pace. Maybe a young, hungry rider will ride through some of the bikes problems to score better results, or at least give the team a kick up the rear end to develop the bike faster.

Yeah cv just isn't very exciting these days - not even in the wet - just hope bautista learns some riding manners - racing is racing - ramming opponents is dumb

What do you f-n expect? Currently Suzuki's are the biggest joke now that there is no green bikes! Chris or Loris deserve JT's seat more than anyone else (including any SBKer- well maybe not Spies). Lack of motivation should not even be allowed in the same sentience with these two riders!!! Both have always givin 100% even on the heaps of junk that they have to race. You need to follow the whole grid and not just the front runners.

Not a suzuki fan at all but it would be nice to see them be more competative. Hopper should have stayed there when he started to get up towards the front.

Fixed it for ya! Suzuki haven't advanced on pace compared to the other three (Yam Duc and Honda), and still Chris is still above Gresini's team. If Chris leaves his current seat, I believe it to be his own choice and not Suzuki's.
this is GOOD news, zooki need some new talent and also need to keep capirossi, awesome development rider IMO and has alot of experience, with some new fire pushing the bike with a proven development rider is definatly a step in the rite direction.

Gosh, I sure need to stop visiting this site while at work. I need to start reading the links first. Adios!!!
According to the article in gpweek CV states the motor is "very aggressive". Same as the Ducati without the electronics. Suzuki has just dropped the ball down the toilet and have to re-commit.
I hope Bautista comes on board. Coming from a 2 smoker will surely help. New blood will also help. But I completely doubt he will leave Aspar.

I get the feeling there is a lot of animosity between CV and the Suzuki team. I think he has tremendous talent and has showcased that at select rounds when conditions level the playing field a bit and the Suzuki just never came good for him. That being said, I'm not I'm 100 percent behind his developmental capabilities. Maybe he'll get lucky and find himself at Tech 3 where he'll have a bike pre-developed and ready to contend and he can really be a threat in the wet and consistently be in the top six. I think it's more likely he goes back to WSBK and picks up where he left off, fighting for a championship.
