Sete Gibernau first piloted a V2 machinery then Mick Doohan's V4 NSR after world champion's crash on Jerez track. After a campaign 2000 far from expectations, the Spanish rider contended the two following seasons for Suzuki, which his victory at Valencia was the single positive spot. In 2002, with an under-competitive 4-stroke GSV-R, Sete Gibernau crashed as he was leading wet races at Suzuka and Estoril. 2003 was marked by the death of his new team-mate in Gresini's, Daijiro Kato. Transcended by this tragical death, he claimed four wins and battled out for the title with Valentino Rossi. He did it again in 2004 and finished once more 2nd overal.
