According to collected data, the number of coronavirus cases in these countries are relatively low when compared with the West, East, and the Middle East, with 11 cases in Gambia, 141 in Liberia, 36 in Malawi, 1728 in Nigeria and no reported cases in Lesotho. Coleman is convinced the low numbers are due to lack of testing in the area: “There are no reported cases in Lesotho at the moment but they are heading for the winter and it is a very mountainous country, it’s very cold there in the winter, lots of snow and ice and those communities will be in their homes and not going out too much. Those are the conditions people are worried about when the spreading is more severe. The number of cases is around 5000 in South Africa, and despite the fact that there are no reported cases in Lesotho, it is unlikely that there are none there.

“In the same time, Alex came to us and said ‘I would like to stay, I would like to continue with Suzuki. If you’re happy, we can sign the agreement now’. We were happy to do that, but it was a little bit more complicated because how our company works is that we needed to go to our President in May, June, July 2019 and say we have to sign an agreement for 2021. He was probably right, given by what can happen, but he wanted to go step-by-step. So, we had to wait for the right time according to our company procedure. During 2019, you think about the 2020 season and then when 2020 is about to start you can state talking about 2021, things like that. But in our mind with Alex, we were already agreed. We were all happy to keep Alex.

“The amount of talent in and around the United States is massive,” Hopkins stated. “It’s just a matter of finding that talent, showing them what’s possible and preparing them for the future by giving them the best possible tools and training to succeed at the highest level. Although my family did everything they could to help me from an early age, being from a low-income family meant they could only do so much. If it weren’t for the help from a select few individuals, along with an academy-style series they had back then called The Aprilia Cup Challenge, there is no way I would’ve ever made it into professional road racing, let alone MotoGP. Eitan and I want to be able to give back and provide young American riders the same opportunities that were given to me.”

Regarding this, Chicho Lorenzo pointed out that “they all want to get to MotoGP” and that “there isn’t one who doesn’t dream of getting there” and even better if they end up “in an official team”.
