While out for a training ride on his bicycle on Sunday morning, John Hopkins was hit by a car, suffering lacerations and scrapes and hitting his head. Nevertheless, the Rizla Suzuki rider is planning to race on Saturday at round 2 of the MotoGP series in Doha, Qatar. Hopkins' brand-new $10,000 road bicycle was snapped in half in the crash, and the car driver left without checking to see if he was okay. "I'm a little bit grazed up and banged up, but nothing too bad," Hopkins said when we reached him today, moments after he had landed in Qatar. "Nothing that's going to keep me off my bike." Hopper says he'll be 100% for the race.
