MOTOGP » Hopkins gets set for Brno return

Go Hopper!!!!!
He's the toughest out there. He raced from the beginning of this year with a broken hip, then a broken back then was sidelined for a couple races. Began last year's series with a broken wrist and has raced with countless injuries in previous years and has never given up.

Some people just don't have a clue what's going on.

Thanks John, you're a warrior.

Sorry you are right I did not mean they are running the screamer in the race they are testing it still and it just ain't working. They should first be working on their current package trying to make it work.I think the biggest problem with the screamer is fuel consumption

@ RW I don't think the current kwak is a screamer just yet, still a big bang i read they are thinking about introducing
next year, but why wait? lets hope these proposed upgrades for Brno can help team green.

The bigger Mistake was they let Nakano go he was great on the Kwaka not so on the Honda.
The engine is the problem and the screamer package just ain't working at the moment. I think that they must see the potential and are pursuing it with determination. Hey look at apriia and fly by wire didn't work in 03. You wouldn't even think about not running fly bly wire now.
History will tell.

Kawasaki did a big mistake letting Depuniet leave...
he was the only rider to really ride that bike, yes he did fall but who didn't???
riders that don't fall from it finish a lap down.
Depuniet got some good results on the 800cc Kawa actually he scored the highest championship points ever scored by the Green machine.
I'm sure Hoppers teeth will be whiter then ever he had a really long time to Polish them on his long break

Although i am a kwak fan i too dont think the kwak is a good bike, but i also dont think hopper is the man for the job, if he's back at Brno then they need to get the stretch ready,(again). and regarding the comment about nobody being able to ride a kwak, Mr. Hacking did a great job on it at laguna! hopper's just to worried about his teeth to go as hard as hacking did.

yarhoo the only way any rider will not get dumped by a KAWASAKI GP bike is if they have velcroe suits instead of leathers good to see somebody else thinks it is a heap of crap

Kawasaki should get rid of Hopkins and West and put a couple of good MotoCross riders on the mean machine, MotoCross riders are about the only riders that could ride that bucking heap of crap Kawasaki so called Moto Gp bike,most riders would be frightened to sit on it when it was standing still

in his biography i saw he was a rising star in the U.S
super-stock champ 2000
formula extreme champ 2001(what the hell is that)
but then he came to the real world he was 17-10 till last year.
last year was the best year he had buy a light-year and the he decides to leave and go to the weakest manufacture for more money???
part of a successful career is being in the right place at the right time(Stoner)
but he went to the worst place and for the silliest reason.
i really wish him all the best but i think he is on his last ride in MotoGP.

oh don't get me wrong - hopper has pushed the boundries (literally!) of falling off this year but de puniet is on the better bike.

ultimately i want to find out if hopkins has the talent so many people believe he has, but on the kwak this year he ain't gonna do that.
