MotoGP – Preview Misano – Hopkins is confident in Kawasaki's progress

Last year John Hopkins finished in 3rd position at Misano Adriatico: is it possible to repeat the same result this weekend, even if with the Kawasaki? An almost utopian thought before Brno, when the Akashi company showed off a ZX-RR that was once again fairly competitive, with the front row seized by the Californian and fifth place by Anthony West. This is why Hopkins is confident, with the intention of achieving a positive result on the Romagna Riviera...

“We had a good weekend in Brno: I managed to start from the front row upon returning after a long absence, which isn't bad at all”, says John Hopkins. “I would have liked to replicate in the race too, but it wasn't possible and in any case Anthony had a great race, finishing in fifth position. Now I hope to do it too at Misano, it's a track that I like and where I finished on the podium last year. I feel good now, I rested for a long time in Miami and I can't wait to race to get a good result.".
