Lets have a round of applause please for Vermin!
11th, ahead of 4 times 250cc world champion and 18 times world whingeing champion Biaggi.
Rookie on the customer bike qualifies ahead of the ex world champ on the full HRC machine! Ho ho !!! I'm wetting myself laughing here.
I think he has done a better job than Shakey without all of Shakey's previous MotoGP experience. I know it's not Sunday yet but he's also a lot closer to the polesitter's time than Shakey managed.
Interestingly, Keith, Julian and Randy were saying that Vermuelen has turned down his Ten Kate ride in WSB next year! I think Sito Pons likes him but will we see him in yellow next year? Suzuki? I never thought he'd turn his back on the Honda support at this stage - could be a bad move?
