Campaigning on the 2012 Suzuki GSX-R1000, Hopper will have a steep nine-fingered challenge this season, as Suzuki has pulled its official race support out of WSBK. As such, Yoshimura has been tapped by Crescent Suzuki to help develop the GSX-R&#8217;s motor, while the team ...]]></description> <wfw:commentRss>http://www.asphaltandrubber.com/racing/crescent-suzuki-john-hopkins-wsbk-livery/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>3</slash:comments> </item> <item><title>WSBK: John Hopkins Amputates Finger</title><link>http://www.asphaltandrubber.com/racing/john-hopkins-amputates-finger/</link> <comments>http://www.asphaltandrubber.com/racing/john-hopkins-amputates-finger/#comments</comments> <pubDate>Mon, 16 Jan 2012 20:45:26 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>Jensen Beeler</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Popular]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Racing]]></category> <category><![CDATA[amputate]]></category> <category><![CDATA[amputation]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Crescent Suzuki]]></category> <category><![CDATA[finger]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Hopper]]></category> <category><![CDATA[injury]]></category> <category><![CDATA[John Hopkins]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Phillip Island]]></category> <category><![CDATA[shocker]]></category> <category><![CDATA[surgery]]></category> <category><![CDATA[world superbike]]></category> <category><![CDATA[WSBK]]></category><guid isPermaLink="false">http://www.asphaltandrubber.com/?p=27512</guid> <description><![CDATA[Having a number of surgeries and complications with his right hand after his MotoGP wild card crash at Brno, Hopper finally resorted to having the top of his right ring finger amputated on Friday. Set to start physiotherapy in about a week and to back on the bike in three weeks, Hopkins hopes to be ready in time for World Superbike's season-opener at Phillip Island in six weeks' time. Consulting with physicians before the surgery on Thursday, the amputation of part of Hopper's finger was viewed as the best way to resolve his continuing problems with his hand, and ensure that his 2012 WSBK season would remain intact. With Hopper hoping to return to MotoGP in 2013, we don't think the Anglo-American's resolve to accomplish that goal can be questioned at this point.]]></description> <wfw:commentRss>http://www.asphaltandrubber.com/racing/john-hopkins-amputates-finger/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>12</slash:comments> </item> <item><title>John Hopkins to World Superbike with Crescent Suzuki</title><link>http://www.asphaltandrubber.com/racing/john-hopkins-world-superbike-crescent-suzuki/</link> <comments>http://www.asphaltandrubber.com/racing/john-hopkins-world-superbike-crescent-suzuki/#comments</comments> <pubDate>Mon, 21 Nov 2011 20:23:43 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>Jensen Beeler</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Racing]]></category> <category><![CDATA[contract]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Crescent Racing]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Crescent Suzuki]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Hopper]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Jack Valentine]]></category> <category><![CDATA[John Hopkins]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Leon Camier]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Suzuki]]></category> <category><![CDATA[world superbike]]></category> <category><![CDATA[WSBK]]></category><guid isPermaLink="false">http://www.asphaltandrubber.com/?p=26562</guid> <description><![CDATA[With the news that Crescent Suzuki would make a move from the British Superbike Championship, and enter into the World Superbike Championship, all eyes have been on whom the British team would field as riders. Anglo-American John Hopkins was heavily favored to be the still-unannounced teammate to Leon Camier on the squad, provided the former-MotoGP racer didn&#8217;t find his way back into the premier class. With Suzuki withdrawing from MotoGP last week and effectively ending ...]]></description> <wfw:commentRss>http://www.asphaltandrubber.com/racing/john-hopkins-world-superbike-crescent-suzuki/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>13</slash:comments> </item> <item><title>Crescent Suzuki Joins World Superbike with Leon Camier</title><link>http://www.asphaltandrubber.com/racing/crescent-suzuki-world-superbike-leon-camier/</link> <comments>http://www.asphaltandrubber.com/racing/crescent-suzuki-world-superbike-leon-camier/#comments</comments> <pubDate>Thu, 03 Nov 2011 13:42:16 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>Jensen Beeler</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Racing]]></category> <category><![CDATA[contract]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Crescent Racing]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Crescent Suzuki]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Eugene Laverty]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Jack Valentine]]></category> <category><![CDATA[John Hopkins]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Leon Camier]]></category> <category><![CDATA[MotoGP]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Suzuki]]></category> <category><![CDATA[world superbike]]></category> <category><![CDATA[WSBK]]></category><guid isPermaLink="false">http://www.asphaltandrubber.com/?p=26105</guid> <description><![CDATA[The World Superbike team roster will grow a little bit next year, as Crescent Suzuki, formerly of British Superbike fame, will join the premier production motorcycle racing series. While there was considerable chatter over whom would ride for Crescent Suzuki, the British team has confirmed that Leon Camier will race on the company&#8217;s Suzuki GSX-R1000 race bike. Leaving some room for more paddock speculation, Crescent Suzuki says it will announce Camier&#8217;s teammate at a later ...]]></description> <wfw:commentRss>http://www.asphaltandrubber.com/racing/crescent-suzuki-world-superbike-leon-camier/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item><title>John Hopkins Withdraws from the Malaysian GP</title><link>http://www.asphaltandrubber.com/racing/john-hopkins-withdraws-malaysian-gp/</link> <comments>http://www.asphaltandrubber.com/racing/john-hopkins-withdraws-malaysian-gp/#comments</comments> <pubDate>Sun, 23 Oct 2011 04:32:15 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>Jensen Beeler</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Racing]]></category> <category><![CDATA[finger]]></category> <category><![CDATA[hand]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Hopper]]></category> <category><![CDATA[injury]]></category> <category><![CDATA[John Hopkins]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Malaysia]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Malaysian GP]]></category> <category><![CDATA[MotoGP]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Rizla Suzuki]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Sepang]]></category> <category><![CDATA[surgery]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Suzuki]]></category><guid isPermaLink="false">http://www.asphaltandrubber.com/?p=25849</guid> <description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s starting to become a bad joke for the Anglo-American rider, but John Hopkins has had to withdraw another wild card opportunity. Citing complications with the finger he broke back the Czech GP, Hopper has unfortunately had to call it quits in Sepang before Sunday&#8217;s race. Re-breaking the knuckle on his third finger on his right hand, Hopkins awoke yesterday to a swollen and immovable joint, which made riding the Suzuki GSV-R an impossibility.
