Had a quick look few the first few pages of general chat and couldn't find a topic so I thought I would start one. Is Hopkins MotoGP career over? Personally I think he may have done his dash but I want to hear your opinion. I was going to post in the Bautista to Gresini thread but didn't...

Bubble topic that I can not delete.

Really looking forward to the final weekend of BSB and top quality racing. Hopper, Hill and Byrne et al have made this season one of the best in recent years, no one rider dominating the season (Kiyo/Camier/Lavilla)

Well as the title states, how does everyone reckon Hopper gets along at Jerez? I honestly don't think he will finish last, but lots has changed since he was last on a MotoGP bike going 10/10th's. If he does well, you think this opens doors for him to come back into the series?

Return to MotoGP? LINK This should make Basspete, who has a mancrush on John, very happy.

And what about John Hopkins? For me John Hopkins was quite a disappointment. I understand the mechanical failure on the first day, but I guess the disappointment stems from what I heard as what the issue was on the second day - and that was that the shift lever felt slick and he thought there...

LINK Still hard to believe. Bostrom was on pitpass radio last night vowing that he and the rest of the guys were going to put on real racing for the 2010 season and that he was devoted to rebuilding the sport. He was also touting his new 18 year old teammate, Chris Clark, as another potential...

The Soup has John Hopkins testing with M4 Suzuki soon and making a return to the team for 2010. Check out the article here. So, is he bailing on FB Corse then?

I haven't seen much chatter about Hoppers. I know that he has been hurt but... what gives.. this is a guy that on the underpowered/tire eating suzuki could run with Rossi for 2/3 race distance. I would have expected him to at least show a leg/Wheel or two to the top guys by now.. Comments... I...

I read on the MCN site in the last 10 minutes that Ducati have made a bold bid to get Hopkins on the bike alongside Nicky next season, for an "All American Dream Team." Just says more details to follow....... Could be interesting........... Pete

I'm trying to figure out what's going to happen to Hopper. I don't think he has impressed anyone this season in WSBK and he isn't healing very well this season either. It seems like somebody in WSBK would certainly take a gamble on him, but if he can't find a seat, where does he go? BSB? He...

Good article http://www.superbikeplanet.com/2009/Jun/jo...ins-intervi.htm

I was in India for a month on business but have been catching up whenever possible - but haven't before heard about this. http://www.worldsbk.com/pubb_EN/news_ext.php?id=3050 If this is old news feel free to delete.

Doh! Please delete.

Unbelievable!! This article was taken from superbikeplanet.com. Hopkins Scheduled For Scooter Test by staff Monday, March 03, 2008 This just in via Kawasaki News: BIKE TEST SHOCKER FOR THE HOPPER Any man that can ride a MotoGP bike in a vertical axis knows his way around a motorcycle, right...

http://www.motogp.com/en/motogp/motogp_new..._id=3§ion=1 may be this will have the same effect as it did on stoner.

Whats your opinions on him? Is he better than Chris Vermuelen? Is going to Kawasaki really a sideways move? Do people think he's been swayed by the money? Im not a major fan of his character although im not quite sure why.
