So How's Ole Hippity Hopper Anyway?

John Hopkins has recovered from hip surgery in the Netherlands and has returned home with five screws in his left hip. His hip smashed itself to pieces when he highsided and landed feet first, still travelling at a good speed. He says it was the most painful injury he's ever had ... and he's had quite a few. So how long will it take to fully recover and get back on track with a nasty injury like that? Do you believe he'll only miss two closely-spaced races? Hopper is expected to start training in TWO WEEKS (!) and rejoin WSB in Utah at the made-for-bikes Miller racecourse in four weeks time. These guys are amazing.
