John “Hopper” Hopkins made his start in motorcycle racing motocross and minibikes as a child. Upon signing with the WCM RedBull Yamaha team in 2002, he became the youngest professional rider on the MotoGP circuit.
Arguably more impressive, though, was his resolve on the bike. Many fans regarded him as one of the most exciting and fearless riders amongst his generation. Despite breaking nearly every bone in his body (twice), suffering a life-threatening brain bleed, and losing a finger, Hopper continued to get back on the bike until a crash finally forced him to retire at 35.
In addition to racing MotoGP, Hopkins also competed in the AMA and British Superbike Championships. He made history as the first American to win a British Superbike race and came with 0.006 seconds of winning the title.
This was the racing suit Hopkins wore while riding for Team Rizla Suzuki during the 2006 MotoGP season. He finished fourth in China and Catalunya that year and ended the Championship in 10th overall.
