John Hopkins: “I’m truly honored to be given this opportunity by Ohvale & to have such great partners by my side helping to make it all happen. Getting to play a big role in potentially changing the sport (here in the U.S.) for the better has always been the biggest dream of mine! Without help from many throughout my young career, I would’ve never dreamed of becoming a professional racer let alone successfully racing in MotoGP. This is the way I finally get to give back in a big way & I couldn’t be more excited!! There’s NO shortage of talent on 2 wheels in America, now we just need to get them riding Ohvale’s with a good plan in place to do so…”
Valerio Da Lio, CEO of Ohvale: “I consider this new partnership with John Hopkins and his associates another important step forward for Ohvale projects, given their extensive experience in the motorsport industry. I am confident that the collaboration between Ohvale and JMJ Moto will provide a genuine opportunity for many young Americans to participate in a real professional growth path. Ohvale stands out for its choice of single-brand motorcycles, equals for everyone, aiming to enhance the capabilities and skills of the rider. Ohvale embodies the dream of achieving a rewarding sports experience and becoming a professional rider in world competitions.”
