Kawasaki: Hopkins is one hard rider...

yep Hopkins is good rider and deserve to reach the podiums, I wonder why he has never tried a Yamaha again or Honda...he always choose a different story...but in green he can show something, I wish him quick recover from injury and beat a lot of rookies

Word is Hopkins had to be lifted off his bike at the end, and sat, head in hands, crying "in anger and in pain." West apparently punched his fist into the garage wall. This is what happens when you send young men into battle on a pile of junk. Sharpen up your act Kawasaki. We are tired of seeing your riders getting hurt.

that is not undely true 'baron', hopkins would of been angry at himself for not being able to fulfil the potential of himself and of the bike!!
if you race then surely you will understand that when you come in from competeing and you havent ridden as hard or as well as you could for whatever reason then you know you are angry at yourself!
and as many people have said west is lucky to have a factory ride! he is a wet weather specialist!!

screamer engine, bridgestone, new suspension and good setup will make Hopkins the king

Baron West did what? punched the wall? he needs to punch his face and come back to realty.he is the worst rider Kawasaki had in MotoGP (in recent years).
they really did a big mistake with him. its not that i don't like him i think his likable but...
his not up for the job!!!
good thing he got it back to the garage in one peace!!!
