When Hopkins does well he is an "Anglo-American".
When he does poorly he is "American".
It's some sort of Euro bias me thinks.

oh no worries, i don't get offended all that easy!
they can play "Like a Virgine" as far as i care...i just want to see him on the box!

I think it'll be the stars and stripes. I find it amazing too about this good/anglo american bad/american thing so from now on I'll think of him as american.
As if england can produce a rider as good as him at the moment!
Go Hopper!

He'll become one of the all time greats without ever winning a GP.
Talk about over rated. DOH!

Regarding his qualifying - he's looking strong in 6th! There was doubt about whether he'd even start at Qatar after his testing injury a couple of weeks back but he's looking in good shape.

Everyone but John is from England.

He was born from two english parents and raised in the US, his passport will say USA, so that will be his nationality on the netry list. I have always considered him american anyway.

me too - as much as we could do with claiming him (cos Bradly Smith is our best hope at the minute and he's about 6)

What about JT? In Italy they're saying he's off to Motogp next year, whether he wins the WSB or not. And he's a damn sight cuter than little Bradley
