MOTOGP » Kawasaki 'benefiting from Hopkins'

I have a sneaking suspision Hooligan will do more on this bike. maybe not much more, but more.
Personally I dont think he's worth that much and i would love to see CV on an improved Suzuki beat him.
Hooligan suffers from America Desiese.....He's good for a couple of fast laps then slow down, like Edwards and Farmboy.

agree Morgue..same as private life can distract a rider, it can lift him up in his job.

Hopper's getting married in december, that might do the trick, it did for Stoner

Hopkins was always the proverbial fourth place guy.
Just taken Kawasaki's money, don't expect much for it.
Another guy off to the retirement home that is WSB in a year or two's time.

hopkins will benefit more from kawasaki than suzuki.

I aggree with you Morgue West & Hopkins should be driving school buses, Randy is on a roll is correct, Santa Claus should on the Christmas tree

(They will be sorry they let Randy go, he was on a roll in the last races on the Kawa)

I think that when lap times are no concern you shouldn't be racing, go drive a schoolbus or something.
The only situation when it is valid is when a rider is new to a class, not with an old hand like Hopkins,
he is being made looking silly by the likes of Lorenzo and Dovi.
Same goes for West, if these guys have to win the war for Kawasaki then help them...
The bike is like a green Christmas tree with a collection of new parts hanging in it.

Yep chu, "will Hopkins benefit from Kawasaki", the green machine doesn't seem to be going good for either rider,just wonder how much they are just testing new parts and are not worrying about times, testing really should be testing and not setting the fastest time after all the more data you can gather the better, if this isn't the case it could be a lean team green 08

For sure Chu - to the tune of several million.
From these times, doubtful whether Kawasaki will see much benefit though.
