News ? Hopkins and Rizla Suzuki back together at Sepang
#Hopkins and Rizla Suzuki back together at Sepang
John Hopkins will re-join the Rizla Suzuki MotoGP team as a wild-card rider in Sepang for the Malaysian Grand Prix on Sunday 23rd October.
Hopkins will make a welcome return to the Rizla Suzuki squad for his second wild-card event of the season. His first event was at Brno where he unfortunately crashed and injured his right hand in a practice session. He had shown huge potential during the first day and had finished in 10th place on the time-sheets, but his injury on day two stopped the Anglo-American from showing what he might have achieved after a full weekend on-board the Suzuki GSV-R. Hopkins has already completed a MotoGP race this season, after he deputised for �lvaro Bautista at Jerez and scored a creditable 10th place at the Spanish Grand Prix.
Hopkins is currently leading the British Superbike championship onboard his Suzuki GSX-R1000 with the Samsung Crescent Racing team. The final event of the season will see him compete in a triple-header race weekend at Brands Hatch in England on Saturday 8th and Sunday 9th October, as he attempts to secure the championship during his debut season.
John Hopkins:
?I am really pumped to get this chance to ride in a MotoGP race with the Rizla Suzuki team. I thought after Brno that I wouldn?t get the opportunity again and was really disappointed that I missed out there due to a silly mistake, so to be heading to Sepang is fantastic. It is one of my favourite tracks and I know it well because we used to test there a lot. My main focus is on the British Championship at the moment, but as soon as that is over I will be in MotoGP mode and putting all my efforts into getting a good result at Sepang and showing that I can perform at the highest level. I really want to get back into MotoGP and this is a great chance to show what I can do.
?Again I need to thank everyone at Rizla Suzuki for giving me this opportunity and my Samsung Crescent team ? I hope that by the time I get back on the MotoGP bike we will have been celebrating something really big at Brands Hatch!?
Paul Denning ? Team Manager:
?We?d intended to give John at least one outing on the Rizla Suzuki Grand Prix bike this year and we?re delighted that he?ll join us in Malaysia to form a two?man team with �lvaro. Sepang is one of John?s favourite tracks and also one that the GSV-R has performed well at in the past. What happened in Brno ? with John?s injury ? and the way he has worked so hard to come back from it, and challenge for the British Superbike Championship, has only reaffirmed his commitment to success and getting back to the top level. Let?s hope at Sepang we manage to line up at the start of the race with two Rizla Suzukis and that �lvaro and John can show what they and the team are all capable of producing.?

Ducati's Secret Jerez Test - Rossi Faster On New Chassis, But Gap Still There
It is hard to keep secrets when Valentino Rossi is involved. Not because of the Italian - Rossi has been the very soul of discretion on the subject of Ducati's development - but because of the exposure he brings to any situation, and especially to Ducati. So on Thursday, Ducati held a private test of a brand new chassis for their 2012 MotoGP machine, all of the details of which were supposed to be secret, but most of which everybody knew. Even the times were supposed to be secret, but the ever well-informed GPOne.com claims that Rossi managed to lap at around 1'39 during the test.
