Chris Vermeulen back to MotoGP?

Chris Vermeulen has had two horrible seasons so far in World Superbikes due to ongoing and continuing injuries and his contract with Kawasaki Racing is up at the end of the season and very unlikely to be renewed, however the likable Australian has revealed that he’s not even thinking of retiring and that he’s actually in talks with several MotoGP teams.

Speaking to Coff Coast Advocate.
com Vermeulen said, “A lot of the riders in World Superbike and MotoGP are off contract.
There are different teams in the championships I’m talking to.
I have options in both championships.
It’s just weighing up my best options for the future.

”It would be interesting to know which MotoGP teams Vermeulen is in talks with, because it seems that there are more riders available than exsisting squads.
Vermeulen debuted in MotoGP in 2005 as a replacement rider for injured Troy Bayliss with Pons’ Camel Honda and in his four full seasons in the top class all with Rizla Suzuki, he managed one win and seven podiums.
