Suzuki racers are raring to get back into action, Chris Vermeulen is still fresh from his stunning pole at Laguna Seca and his best MotoGP finish of fifth at the same race - a result that could have been even better but for a small technical problem. Hopper, ninth in the world championship standings, has taken his points tally for the season to a bigger total than he has ever scored in a whole year's MotoGP campaign.

Paul Denning, team manager: “The whole team is looking forward to the Brno race and we are all refreshed from the summer break. John and Chris have both been training hard and are eager to get back in the thick of the action - they are both looking to continue from where they left off before the break. Suzuki has had a far more successful season than we have had in recent years but it is refreshing that the factory is pushing for much more – we have a multitude of new engine and chassis components to use in Brno, some for the race and some for the test afterwards."

“We are still chasing for podium places and some of the upcoming tracks should suit the Rizla Suzuki - so we will be looking to take advantage of those - starting with Brno this weekend. It isn't an out-and-out power circuit, although the riders need good torque to accelerate up the steep elevation changes, and the track certainly favours a well balanced bike.

“We are all very motivated to deliver on the potential shown so far this year and we're hoping for a great Grand Prix.”
