Yet more wrist surgery. You want to love him, but you say there must be something holding him back. All those crashes...just one more surgery and he'll be a contendah!

Hopkins is perpetually injured. I think his time was over awhile ago.

His replacement, Jake Holden, was at Sears at the AFM races the other weekend, absolutely smokin' a really deep field until he crashed out in the lead.

My problem is I watched "The Doctor, Tornado, etc."  movie too many times. I still think of him as the young un with so much promise. Washed up at 27? Nah.
