So it seems that Hopkins will be riding for Stiggy in WSB alongside
Haslam. I haven't seen whether they'll run 3 bikes or if Rolfo is
getting the push.

Although it doesn't have the status of Ten Kate, Haslam showed in Philip
Island that the bike is fast. It'll be interesting to see how Hopkins
gets on with it.

And you have to think that is the end of Hopkins' MotoGP career.

If he does well, you guys better start talking about it quick before Tom
gets upset.

Good luck to the fella.

The end of his career at 24? I'm sure he will be back in GP in the future.

No matter what age, very very few people get a second bite of the
cherry.

Unless you show very special talent or bring money. Hopkins
has done neither.


Go fast. Take chances.

Didn't Barros get a return trip after winning, what, one race?

Rolfo's out:

Roberto Rolfo:
“With great sadness I have taken notice of the fact that the Stiggy
Racing Team and its sponsors have expressed their wishes for another
rider to support the team. Based on this outcome, I have decided to
end my collaboration with the team.”
