I still somewhat think "doing good" for Hopper is going to be "Not Crashing"....if he does better than 13th finish, I'll be absolutely freaking amazed....

i know that 2007 was a long time ago, and while he was not on spec 'stones he was on 'stones and an 800cc machine (that hasn't changed much since)... and in 2007 he rode that thing pretty well.

like is said, i dunno.  i can't decide if i expect him to bin it or ride around in the back with karel.  his record at jerez is not stellar.

Somewhere mid pack would be great, I would cringe if he was .5 second behind the last guy. I think to finish mid pack after this amount of time away on the Suzuki would blow most people away. Good luck to him what ever happens

A good day on the zuke with Bautista is pretty much mid-pack.  To expect Hopper to do the same is asking a bit much.  And he can't spell "a bit much" either, so there's that.

Not sure if surprised or impressed is the right word.

Not bad for the first time out in a few years.

I'd be worried if I was Bautista.

I wouldn't....attricion had more to do with his results than his own performance...he had a steady head about him to just keep it upright and bring it home, which I will completely give him 100% credit for...on a different day, he might go back to the "bin it or win it" mentality!
