Hey Guys, wanted to calm all the speculation and speak with my fans direct.I had severe pain in my ribs from the previous Inury on Friday morning before practise and was obviously unable to make it out. But im back on the bike and im feeling a little stronger with a good nights rest last night. Fingers crossed for tomorrow and will keep you posted on my thoughts. Noticed alot in the press about me and Ashleigh's personal life and it is sad because she wanted to keep it between us. Unfortunatly Ashleigh's grandma passed away recently and she was extremely upset and wanted to be with her family at this time so took the next flight home. I wanted her by my side this weekend as my injury was getting me down, so she flew back over to keep me going and stop all the chatter in the paddock. thankyou for understanding guys.   Hopper.

In the Eurosport-Motor magazine is a very good exclusive interview with John. Four pages of John with racing-pictures.Citation:"Headstrong driving style. John controlled the wheelie with step-over alike as the extreme Hang-off-style."John said: " I have lost my first Home-GP in Laguna on grounds of my hurt and will give right gas in Indy!" See you soon, Burki! Sorry my english is not so good .
