Rizla Suzuki 已經完成他們的2007年季後測試計畫，藉由他們選擇
到澳洲 Phillip Island 關起門來練功。
The Rizla Suzuki team have completed their 2007 post-season
test programme with a behind-closed-doors two-day test at Phillip
Island.
Vermeulen 和 Capirossi 都已測試過新的08年GSV-R800原型車，
徹底感受它的速度，當另一方面其他的MotoGP車隊為今年的最後
一次測試在 Jerez 聚集時。
Both Chris Vermeulen and Loris Capirossi put the new 2008
prototype Suzuki GSV-R through its paces, while the other
MotoGP teams are gathered at Jerez for their final tests.
Suzuki 選擇到澳洲，因為這是條技術性的賽道。
Suzuki chose to travel to Australia due to the technical nature
of the circuit.
兩位車手都實際進行了近乎極限的測試時間，包含了將近400圈，
或者說是1,800 公里的距離。(你們是準備組隊參加八耐呀
)
Both riders carried out a huge test schedule, covering nearly
400 laps or 1,800km between them.
Vermeulen：
”這是對我們來說，一個非常積極的測試，而我們通過這兩天期間
測試的所有負荷測驗，”
"This has been a very positive test for us and we have got
through loads of stuff during the two days," said Vermeulen.
”沒有其他車手在這，你不知道你做的如何，它的困難相當難以估計，
但是這也已經是一件具有正面積極意義的事了，我們已經能夠持續進
展我們工作，且不煩惱其他車手或者單圈時間。
"It's quite difficult to gauge how well you are doing with no
other riders here, but that has also been a positive thing as
we have been able to get on with our job and not worry
about other riders or lap times.
”我知道在新GSV-R800上，我的速度比今年十月在這比賽
還要快，但是這個測試不代表全部。
我們在這裡發現如何讓賽車工作的更好，毫無疑問地我們踏出
向前邁進的一大步，在這裡我們學到許多東西，這將幫助我們
許多，不只在這個賽道，也可以用在其他賽道上。
"I know my pace on the new bike was better than the race
here in October, but that was not what this test was all about.
We were here to find out what would make the bike work
better and we have certainly made big steps towards doing that,
we have learned a lot that will help us not just at Phillip Island
but elsewhere as well.
”這有點羞愧，我們放了七個星期的假，當我想要繼續與新
賽車工作時，並確信我們能像今年一樣有足夠競爭力的時候，
明年三月已經開始了！
"It's now just a shame that we have seven weeks off as I
would like to continue working with the new bike and making
sure we are as competitive as we can be when the season
starts next March!"
Capirossi：
這對我來說，是個很棒的測試。
我跑了將近200圈單圈，並完成一個難以置信的工作量，而那之後
我們發現了一個向前邁進的好方向。
我們完整的通過了自己的測試流程，雖然我們仍然有一些東西需要
改善，但是，現在我們已經有清楚的概念知道什麼是我們需要的，
我們是自信的，知道自己正走向哪裡。
Capirossi added:
"It was a very good test for me.
I did nearly 200 laps and got through an incredible amount of
work and we have found a good direction to go in.
We got though our full test schedule and although we still have
some things to improve, we now have a clear idea of what is
needed and we are confident that we know how we are going
to get there.
”我真的很享受和新車隊在一起的時間，但是現在很難過，我們必須
有很長的休息時間要分開，但是，我將會休養生息後歸來！
並在一月底做好準備，我等不及要跨上 Suzuki 進行我的第一場比賽！”
"I am really enjoying my time with the new team and it is now
sad that we have to have such a long break, but I will come
back refreshed and ready to get going at the end of January -
I can't wait for my first race on the Suzuki!"
