John Hopkins officially signed on Thursday, with Stiggy Honda to race WSB, starting with round three in Valencia in two weeks. He replaces Italian Roberto Rolfo. Hopper finished 4th in the 2007 MotoGP, but then switched to Kawasaki for 2008 and suffered multiple injuries, both a factor in his 16th place season finish. Teammate Haslam's podium finish in Australia and Rolfo's 5th place Superpole finish at Qatar, show that the bike is quite capable of a good result. It's now up to Hopper to put his bike where his mouth is. He'll be under a lot of self-imposed pressure to succeed, so big crashes are possible.

Hi Phil
ReplyDeleteThought I would post a comment. I am having trouble with the format. I tried before but it would upload. I am not familiar with the options presented. Opened a google account and hoping this works. Watched a New program RC TV this AM They were using a a nitro and electric ducati. Looks tuff. They suggest you have lots of 4 wheel RC before you try 2.
Cheers
