Gibberneau, you know, the new Kawi factory rider?? (well, more than likely)
Borderline - I hear ya on Hopkins, he's been on the bike for how long and his teammate starts out performing him out of the box! (qualifying at least)

+1 for hopkins and his underachieving. How do you win the formula extreme class in ama and then get promoted to motogp the following year?

He is championship material... in AMA Formula Extreme. I'm not sure I see another #1 plate for that guy anytime soon though.
I'm championship material too: I'm #1 when it comes to fucking the dog at work.

Actually, Hopkins won an Aprilia Cup and an AMA 750 Supersport title before the X-treme championship win. Then John Ulrich recommended Hopkins to Red Bull Yamaha boss Peter Clifford. You'll remember that it was Ulrich who discovered Kevin Schwantz, who went on to be promoted to the 500 GP class and, despite having won no AMA championships, became World 500 champ in '94.
That being said, Schwantz's Suzuki was at least competitive enough of the time, for enough seasons, to enable him to win the title. Hopkins's Suzuki has yet to be proven a threat.

I say all of them.
I will defend Hopper, that bike is a piece of shit, give him a real bike and you'll be eating your words. When then bike works, he's up front. Oh, the shit tires don't help either. Vermeulen may have out qualified him but Hopkins nearly always beats him in the races. Qualifers don't build men, races does-insert Tim's Allans grunting here! :laughing
As for Sete, he was washed up years ago.

Sure they do, the Ducs are very inconsistent, Capirossi has said so and Sete would start strong and fade, same as the Suzuki's.

Blaming the tires for Setes/Ducati/Suzukis crap performance is like Oprah blaming a fork for being fat.
