MotoGP is a vicious sport! Ft Mat Oxley | #183
Q: What advice would you give someone looking to break into MotoGP journalism today?

Q: Tell us about the time he indulged in the devil's lettuce and then rode a GP bike.
Hopkins recounts a younger-life experience driving through a rain-affected weekend, smoking with a friend, and then racing; he emphasizes it as a cautionary anecdote about youth and the culture of the era rather than a regular pattern, noting he did ride a GP bike later under different circumstances.
John Hopkins on 500cc Beasts & MotoGP’s Most Dangerous Era | #180
