Vermeulen confident for Assen

Vermeulen travels to Assen in a confident mood after his third-place finish at last weekend's British Grand Prix. The Australian racer is now in fourth place in the rider's championship and will be looking to add to his points tally at a track that he likes and has won at in the past.

Chris Vermeulen commented: "I had a good result last weekend at Donington and would like to repeat that at Assen. We had a few issues in the race last year, but did manage to get in the top-10. I really like the track and I had a double-header win in World Superbikes in 2005 as well as setting pole position and the fastest lap of the day in the races, so I know my way around here as well as anyone. I am really looking forward to this weekend and we need to keep this run going!"
