Absolute banger of an episode

We’ve got American road racing royalty on the podcast, John Hopkins.

From the brutal 500cc beasts to becoming a full factory Suzuki rider, plus a stint with the famous Kawasaki team, John’s career is nothing short of incredible.

In this episode, we dive into his journey, what made him so resilient, the next wave of US talent coming through Ohvale, and just how dangerous MotoGP was in the early 2000s.
