Gas It Out - Episode 28 - John Hopkins
Ep. 28
•
Former MotoGP star John Hopkins joins the boys for a heartfelt chat through his rollercoaster career; from being thrown into the bear pit as the youngest-ever 500cc rider, to earning factory backing from Suzuki and Kawasaki, before the lows of injuries and off-track issues took their toll as he reinvented himself as a Superbike rider on the British, American and world stage.
"Hopper" is now helping mentor young motorcyclists with the American Racing Team, where he has enjoyed instant success with Joe Roberts in Moto2.
