About The Author
John Hopkins
John ‘Hopper’ Hopkins is a former motorcycle road racer based in the United States. Raised by English parents in California, he became the youngest professional rider on the MotoGP circuit. In 2007, Valentino Rossi labeled him as his most-feared rival. A series of horrific crashes and debt took their toll, and John became addicted to alcohol and pills. He turned his life around, and despite further crashes and injuries, came within .006 of a second from winning the British Superbike series. Another horrific crash finally ended his career at the age of 35. He is known to MotoGP fans as the most fearless rider of a generation.
