Depends, Rog. If the Zook turns out to be the cometitive bike it's being tested as, and Bridgestone improve, Hopkins and Vermulen could be thrust to the front of the pack.

I think they will be up amongst it, but not quite fast enough or consistent enough to be championship contenders. But this could just be the start of whats to come.

Well a race win is the next step for Suzuki. Question is, which rider will get it? My money's on CV.

Tom · Jan 30, 2007

Hmm, i wouldn't be surprised if one of them got a win in early. I think Hopkins experience will show through, i predict his win first.

Will either or both of them get one this year? I think they might not. I mean potential and all, there are so many guys going so fast. And i think when testing is done and racing starts its gonna come down to the same big players as last year. Its not gonna be easy for the suzukis to win one. Just look at the list of names they have to beat.

True, but it could happen. Hopkins and Vermulen are both capable of GP wins, (Maybe CV needs a bit more experience, but not much) It's thier package that lets them down. If CV's Bike/Tyres held out at Laguna Seca, they might have had thier first win last season. Predicting multiple wins might be a bit pie-in-the-sky, but one win wouldn't surprise me. The reason I'd say Vermulen is because he seems capable of these brilliant one off rides, and he could turn one of them into a race this season. He beat Hopper to a podium, after all.
