	MotoGP: Chris Vermeulen Interview - MotorcycleUSA.com
		Chris Vermeulen has been an fan favorite in America ever since he burst onto the scene in 2004.

		Chris Vermeulen (Ten Kate Honda CBR600RR) had to give best to teammate Karl Muggeridge in the 21-lap World Supersport Race at Imola but he nonetheless romped home in World Supersport Championship itself, winning the title with one race to go.
		It is Vermeulen's first World Championship win, and the second successive riders' title for Honda to add to their manufacturers' crown this year.
		With Muggeridge passing Vermeulen once more with four laps to go, the last lap saw the 21-year-old Aussie re-take compatriot Muggeridge on the descent to the first Rivazza, but he braked too deep, allowing Muggeridge enough space to pass on the inside and hold his advantage to the flag.

	Chris Vermeulen's other motoring passion
		But there is a passion that Vermeulen shares with his father Pete, involving not two wheels, but four; not the state-of-the-art machinery of a modern racing motorcycle, but the nostalgic lines of veteran motor vehicles — except these classics get a bit of Vermeulen treatment that turns them into fully-fledged hot-rods.
		Pete Vermeulen looks after the F100 while his son is away and has even won prizes after entering it in a couple of hot-rod shows.
		The pick-up, however, is 12,000 miles away from Vermeulen’s European base and the 22-year-old has recently been yearning for a toy to play with and cruise around in during the racing season.

		Most riders, seeing the rain as a danger, had slowed dramatically in an attempt to stay upright, but Vermeulen saw the rain as an opportunity, and after being as low as 14th, after one lap in the wet he was running third.
		Vermeulen, on his factory Suzuki, set off after Carlos Checa, with plumes of water arcing out behind their bikes, and on lap 17 of 26, the 24-year-old from Yandina on the Sunshine Coast caught the Spaniard, and never looked back.
		A 16-year-old Vermeulen was in the crowd at the island that day, and was proud he had again raised the Australian flag at home.

	Vermeulen misses out on French double - Hannspree Ten Kate Honda Racing Team
		Chris Vermeulen was denied his second winning double of the season at Magny-Cours today when the chain jumped off the rear sprocket of his Winston Ten Kate Honda CBR1000RR.
		On lap 19, however, Vermeulen cruised to a halt at the end of pit lane, realising that his 2005 World Superbike championship season was over.
		With what happened to Chris, and Karl getting taken out at the start, it’s almost too much to take in for just one race, let alone the last one of the season.

	MotoGP report: Vermeulen on pole at Laguna Seca
		Chris Vermeulen brought another pole position for Suzuki at Laguna Seca, as he topped time sheets in extremly hot qualifying for US Grand Prix.
		We have qualified on the first two rows which is where you need to be here, I would have liked to have been on the front with Chris and congratulations to him for his pole.
		I expected more, and Chris Vermeulen has certainly shown that the qualifying tyres from Bridgestone were up to the job, so it's a little disappointing to find myself only on the third row of the grid.

		Although most of the attention given MotoGP rookies this year has been focused on Dani Pedrosa and Casey Stoner, Suzuki's Chris Vermeulen proved that he needs to be considered a talent worth watching, as well.
		Vermeulen's performance at Laguna Seca yesterday (from pole position, Vermeulen led half of the race before mechanical issues slowed him) proved Vermeulen not only belongs in MotoGP, but will be a future threat for the title.
		Those who have worked with him indicate Vermeulen is mature beyond his years (24 years of age) and, on the rare occasion where he rides a familiar track these days (the former World Supersport champ had ridden Laguna Seca previously), he can be expected to mix it up with the leaders.
