John Hopkins second appearance in MotoGP at Brno, was cut short after a crash during a wet FP3 left him with a break and dislocation to his third finger and a dislocation to his second finger of his right hand.
Hopkins underwent surgery two days ago after returning home and unfortunately for the Anglo-American rider who has had his fair share of injuries in his career, this one turned out to much more worse than what it seemed after he was treated at the Clinica Mobile.
“Today’s surgery went very well but the injury itself was much worse than what we originally expected.
Exact recovery time and when I will be back on the bike is yet to be determined but I can say I will be 100% or close to by Donington Park,” Tweeted Hopkins, adding the pic of his newly operated hand.
Whether Hopkins will want to risk riding his Samsung Crescent Suzuki at the British Superbike 3 race round at Cadwell Park that takes place in nine days still remains to be seen, even if he’s already qualified for the Showdown.
