After his excellent 10th place at Jerez when he replaced Alvaro Bautista who was out with a broken leg, former MotoGP rider John Hopkins is fast becoming a hot item around the Grand Prix paddock.
The Anglo-American rider who is currently 2nd in the British Superbike Championship, was tipped as a replacement rider for injured Dani Pedrosa and Colin Edwards (which wasn’t necessary seeing that Edwards raced one week after surgery and took a 3rd place podium) but Hopkins turned down the offers, claiming loyalty to his Samsung Suzuki team.
However, Hopper will make another appearance in the premier class when he’ll wildcard with Rizla Suzuki at the Brno GP August 14th, on a third GSV-R.
Hopkins team manager, Jack Valentine, also confirmed a rumor that was circulating regarding LCR Honda who contacted the American rider.
It’s unclear whether Lucio Checchinello was interested in a second rider or as a replacement for under performing Toni Elias, who apparently has been given a step up or ship out notice from his team and sponsors.
