John Hopkins:

“Basically we were just finding the best set-up that we could today. Everything has just got better and we have taken a big step forward today. 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. We will hope to get a good start and be right there because our race pace is looking good. We have a couple of things to try in warm-up and if they don’t work then we have a good set-up anyway. But whatever, come tomorrow afternoon we are going to be ready!”


Paul Denning – Team Manager:

“This is Rizla Suzuki’s third pole of the year and Chris’ second. This was backed up by a huge effort by John to secure a second row start in the dying seconds. A lot has been said about Suzuki’s progress this year and the fact we are discussing our third pole justifies that. Chris was simply awesome this afternoon! There was clearly a lot less grip on the track with unbelievably high temperatures, but both on race tyres and qualifiers he simply squeezed more out of it than everybody else out there. Tom and Chris’ crew also did a fantastic job today and the work they put in helped Chris further.

“As far as the race is concerned, in these temperatures the biggest concern for us will be the same for us as all riders and that will be maintaining grip and keeping a level of consistency to the end of the race. I think we have tried everything we can this weekend, so has Bridgestone, and we are pretty much where we’re at and looking forward to getting the best possible result, whatever that might be!”
