    Hopkins ready for Jerez despite injury

    Hopkins, while still not completely recovered from a muscular injury sustained in a crash in Australia in January, feels more than ready for another race, having had some time since Qatar to concentrate on his rehabilitation.

    Speaking about the upcoming race Hopkins said: “The abductor muscle I tore at Phillip Island in January still isn’t completely fixed but everything’s going okay and I’ve been training hard. I’ve been in Miami, the sun’s been out and I’ve been taking care of myself before Jerez.

    “We’ve had some more MRI scans done, which show the injury is still definitely there, unfortunately, but it’s not been keeping me from working on my fitness. Despite the muscle problem, I really feel 100% ready for the race and I’m really looking forward to it. I’m definitely going to improve on the position I got at Qatar. We’ll work on tyre choice and a good set up and it’ll be great to head back to Europe to race.”
