 I just noticed John Hopkins signed to run AMA for 2010..

Safe to say he's pretty much done? I've not heard good things regarding the future of AMA.

The circle is complete. Start racing with Uhlrich end racing with Uhlrich/M4. Guess he's lucky to be racing anything anywhere. Hope the ten people in the stands cheer him on. Grin Kinda sad actually.

Yes, it is.

But I also feel he has made his own bed to lie in.....

All his crashes and injuries....Hard to blame those on others.   Undecided

in all honesty, some where his fault... others, not so much.

he was likely way over-riding to overcome the lack of performance from the gsvr.

anybody, anywhere, that has a ride this year is lucky. there are a LOT of competent racers out of work for 2010. hacking, for example.

(btw, that's "ulrich")

Oops, sorry for the misspelling. Typed in haste. That's what I was implying, you're damn lucky if you are racing at all this year. Way too many good riders out of work. Also sad.
