Video: Chris Vermeulen walking again, plans return for Sepang test

You can’t help admire the sheer grit and determination that a professional rider summons up after being injured and going through big time surgery and their rocky road to recovery.
Chris Vermeulen is certainly a tough s.
o.
b.
and despite only now being able to move around without crutches, and still undergoing a strict training regime of swimming and cycling, in a race against time trying to get fit again, he still plans to be at Sepang in January to test his Kawasaki.

Hopefully Vermeulen will be able to take part in the test, even if PBM team manager Paul Bird recently admitted that he’s planning to have Stuart Easton take Vermeulen’s place in Sepang, as the Australian will only be 80% fit.
