John Hopkins Comes Full Circle

John Hopkins returned to racing in the US in 2010, determined to reboot his once promising racing career. With 111 GP starts under his belt at the time and a disproportionately large list of injuries to match, the then-26-year-old Hopkins suffered yet another setback when a wrist injury sustained before the start of the season forced him to sit out of several rounds and at one point threatened to end his career. A successful operation meant a return to racing for “Hopper”, who finished off his rookie AMA Superbike season with three consecutive podiums.
