Chris Vermeulen
Encyclopedia
Chris Vermeulen is a motorcycle racer, currently competing in the World Superbike Championship for the works Kawasaki team. He originally raced in this class in 2004 and 2005 for the Ten Kate Honda team, finishing as series runner-up in 2005. He also won the World Supersport Championship for Ten Kate in 2003.
From 2006 season
season he joined the elite MotoGP series, for the Rizla
Suzuki MotoGP
Team. On 28 August 2009 Suzuki confirmed Vermeulen will leave the team at the end of the 2009 season
. He is regarded as a wet-weather expert, and is affectionately nicknamed 'Vermin' on account of his last name.
to 8th in the championship, with a best result of 4th, and the privateer championship for non-factory riders. His mentor Barry Sheene
then arranged rides for him in Britain in their Supersport and Superstock
classes, and success in these gave him his World Supersport break with Castrol
Honda
.
Initial success in a few late-2000 races did not translate into a successful 2001, as he only managed a single top 5 finish. However, in 2002 he linked up with Dutch
team owner Gerrit Ten Kate, taking his first poles and podiums en route to 7th in the championship in the 2002 season. He became the team's lead rider for 2003, and became series champion comfortably with four victories, becoming the youngest ever winner.
in World Superbikes for 2004, Chris was the natural choice to ride it. The team did their own development on the bike (in its first test they still used a road-bike clutch), but he still won four races and briefly led the championship before finishing 4th, as the only non-Ducati
in the top 8.
For 2005 the championship had many Yamaha and Suzuki
bikes, as well as 4 more Hondas including a second Ten Kate entry for Karl Muggeridge
. Chris continued to record victories, and took his first pole at Assen
in Holland
, the country in which his grandfather was born. Victory in the first race at Imola
took him to within 55 points of veteran compatriot Troy Corser
's lead, but the cancellation of the second race due to heavy rain meant that only 50 points were still available from the remaining round's 2 races. He still comfortably finished as series runner-up.
race and, because of sponsorship and manufacturer relationships (Japan Tobacco and Honda, as the Ten Kate Honda team was sponsored by Winston
a Japan Tobacco brand), also rode a Camel Pons Honda GP bike at the tail end of the 2005 season.
His progress towards a factory Honda ride seemed assured but Honda were only offering him another year in World Superbike, and Japan Tobacco had switched to Yamaha in MotoGP, so he made the bold decision to quit HRC and go with team Suzuki who signed him in 2006 alongside fellow youngster John Hopkins
.
He scored his first MotoGP pole in Turkey
after a stunning ride in the wet, coincidentally one round after fellow Australian rookie Casey Stoner
scored his maiden pole. After the Sachsenring
race he was 14th in the championship on 46 points, 4 places and eighteen points behind Hopkins. At the following round at Laguna Seca
, Vermeulen took pole position, one of only two non-Americans in the first two rows of the grid. Vermeulen was one the few riders to have experience of the circuit, due to it being a former circuit of World Superbikes, and was holding its first Grand Prix race since 1993. He had a technical problem while running third. In his home race at Philip Island
he was the fastest man once the field had changed to wet tyres, and charged through the field to finish 2nd.
