The Suzukis have tended to fall back on raceday after these qualifying heroics so fa rthis season, so I suspect Hopkins will struggle to finish top 6. Still a greatly encouraging result for both he and the team.
I guess it's Tamada v Rossi for the win unless anything happens. The championship really needs Seté to make a good fightback, and the 3-by-3 grid makes that even harder (which is good - not only is the system safer, it also increases the benefit of qualifying well)
