CONGRATS TO THE HOPPER!

Good on John.Even after the race he was still stoked with the pole position he achieved.

one things for sure ... Johnny Hopper Show Stopper is beginning to mature

It was a pretty good race for John even though he went backwards...shame about Vermuelen he was doing well then he started falling back down the grid again.

Yeah, I was refering to total victories. Ago is impossible to catch there. Especially when he used to take multiple wins in one weekend. Another intresting fact, Rossi has racked up his total of big bore wins faster than anyone else.

I do remember that one time Loris broke his hand in warm-up and finnished on a podium .


Checked the data and in 2000– after scoring his first 500 pole at the Dutch GP he fell in morning warm-up, breaking his left hand. And yet he raced, with the aid of painkillers, to a remarkable third-place finish.


and yes the list should be pretty short if you ask me...
