Now this is dedication.
 Crescent Suzuki World Superbike rider John Hopkins has chosen to amputate the second finger on his right hand rather than miss the beginning of the 201 season. Hopkins broke his finger in a crash at Brno in 2011, where he was lining up as a wildcard rider for Rizla Suzuki in MotoGP. After months of rehabilitation Hopper made the brave decision to cut off the finger in order to suit up for the beginning of the 2012 Superbike season - Crescent Suzuki's first in WSBK. Tweets from Hopkins's twitter account (@JHopper21) portrayed the riders good spirits, with the American joking with fans, " Finally relaxing watching #SXonSpeed after changing bandages & seeing my freshly amputated finger for the 1st time! #LostAppetite". Finger injuries are common among motorcycle riders. Spanish MotoGP star Jorge Lorenzo lost his left index finger at Phillip Island in October. http://www.foxsports.com.au/motor-sp...-1226245373499 |
