i like watching WorldSuperBike because the racing is great and commentators are entertaining. Vermullen is awesome to watch and now that the WSB season has ended, it appears he was given a shot to try MOTOGP this weekend, cant wait to watch. Granted it will be an unfamiliar bike, possible on a foreign track (not sure which track is next up) but once hes in the groove...well see, Apparently its possible that he will be in MOTOGP next season.

This weekend's race is in Phillip Island down in the land of oz. Since he is austrailian I bet he has ridden that track a couple of times! It will be interesting to watch!
Also watch ant west and casey stoner on the 250's, both aussies!.. the racing should be great!

He knows the track, but I'm sure the bike is going to be
an eye widening experience.
He'll be riding the Camel Honda as a substitute for the injured Troy Bayliss.
Chris was fifteenth on his first ride during free practice.

Roberts and Capirossi are both out for the weekend after
crashing in "Doohan Corner" (Separate Crashes)

Vermullen will be pretty good next season. Hope he goes to Suzuki like they are reporting. Be nice to see them battling for a win or podium for a change

Vermeulen signs on at Suzuki - News, 28/10/05

Suzuki and Chris Vermeulen have agreed terms on a two-year deal which will see the rising Australian star race the Suzuki GSV-R in the 2006 and 2007 seasons. Vermeulen joins Team Suzuki MotoGP after a successful season in the World Superbike Championship, riding for Ten Kate Honda, where he finished the season in second place overall. The 23-year-old will ride the GSV-R for the first time in the forthcoming Valencia test on Wednesday 9th and Thursday 10th November.

Too bad he signed a 2 year deal as he will now have to ride that POS for 2 years. Better off doing a single and then on a bike with potential.
