Moto2: Racing Director Hopkins Splits With American Racing Team

Former MotoGP racer John Hopkins has left his position as Racing Director at OnlyFans American Racing Team, which races in the Moto2 World Championship.

Contacted about the split, Hopkins wrote in a text message to Roadracingworld.com, “Growing disputes & conflicts of interest with Team Ownership led to the separation, sadly.”

Hopkins went on to say he is still the manager and rider coach for OnlyFans American Racing Team’s Joe Roberts, a position he’s held since 2020, but Hopkins was unable to make the trip to this coming weekend’s event at Mandalika International Street Course, in Indonesia.

We’ve reached out to OnlyFans American Racing Team Co-Owner Eitan Butbul and Roberts for comment, but we did not get a response prior to post time.

We will update this post with any comments they share with us.

Update: Communicating from Indonesia via text message, Eitan Butbul declined to comment on this news.
