Think it was "hopper" if I remember rightly (he then dropped back through the field) before he moved to Kawasaki who then promptly left the series. Will look through my files as I think I have a close up of him somewhere, will post it if I find it.

Apologies.It wasn`t hopper, it was Chris Vermeulan. Hopper was already on the Kwakka (see posted picture). Capi was out injured and Ben Spies was guest riding the other Suzi ... his first ride on a Moto GP bike.

It was a 300mm + 1.7x AF converter. Don't know where the 800 came from as I used to set the manual setting at 550 for the anti-shake on the camera. Setting must have got changed somehow.
