For those following Team Zuk:
Kenny Roberts Jr narrowly missed out on a hard-fought top-10 position at today’s Marlboro Grand Prix of Qatar, as team-mate John Hopkins was forced to pit and change his rear tyre before completing the race.

Roberts Jr finished in 11th place after the 22-lap race and was looking likely to challenge Loris Capirossi for another position higher up the field, but a lack of grip made the ex World Champion decide to bring the Suzuki GSV-R home safely in the points rather than risk all in the closing stages.

Both Roberts Jr and Hopkins were involved in an early five man battle that also included the Hondas of Alex Barros, Max Biaggi and Makoto Tamada. The Suzuki racers more than held their own even though they were struggling with acceleration against their Honda counterparts. Unfortunately for Hopkins he couldn’t find any feeling from his tyres, and having run off the track, was forced into a pit-stop at the end of lap nine. He changed his rear tyre and then re-joined the race. Although now a lap down he managed to post consistent lap times that were equal to riders inside the top-10.

Today’s race was held in scorching temperatures of 39 degrees and the small but enthusiastic crowd were treated to an exciting race all through the field. The eventual winner was World Champion Valentino Rossi on a Yamaha – his 10th victory of the season.
