Takaaki Nakagami

Takaaki Nakagami akan terus beraksi di kejuaraan dunia MotoGP musim 2023 setelah menandatatangani kontrak satu tahun bersama HRC.

Meskipun sebelum ini didakwa tempatnya akan digantikan dengan pelumba Moto2, Ai Ogura namun HRC terus beri kepercayaan kepada pelumba berusia 30 tahun itu untuk beraksi bersama LCR Honda IDEMITSU, musim depan. 

Ini bermakna Nakagami akan bersaing bersama-sama LCR Honda untuk tahun keenam mereka bersama. 

Membuat 80 penampilan setakat ini, Nakagami antara pelumba yang kekal konsisten dan enam kali berjaya menempatkan diri dikalangan Kelompok Lima terbaik setakat ini. 

Selain itu, Nakagami juga berjaya merekodkan satu petak pertama di MotoGP dan 14 podium di Moto2 termasuk dua kemenangan. 

“Saya sangat gembira kerana dapat terus berlumba di MotoGP bagi musim 2023 bersama LCR Honda. 

“Saya mahu berterima kasih kepada IDEMITSU dan HRC atas sokongan yang diberikan. Saya akan berikan yang terbaik musim depan dan cuba dapatkan keputusan yang terbaik,” jelasnya.

Saingan MotoGP akan kembali bersambung hujung minggu ini di GP Aragon. 

The recently concluded Italian GP had witnessed Ducati’s Francesco ‘Pecco’ Bagnaia claiming his first win at the Mugello.

While the result was a much-needed boost for the Italian, Suzuki’s Alex Rins, on the other hand, suffered his third attempt in a row of failing to secure a point.

It was a disastrous day for the Spaniard as he was forced to retire after a collision with Honda’s Takaaki Nakagami.

The incident also ignited Suzuki to submit a formal request to the Race Direction to investigate the incident and punish Nakagami. However, Race Direction decided it was just a ‘normal’ racing incident.

In a fiery outburst, Rins slams the Japanese rider during an interview with DAZN.

“Nakagami can’t do what he did. He’s a super aggressive rider. I think he’s the dirtiest rider on the grid.

“On the lap before the accident, I put the bike in front of him between turns 10 and 11.

“Usually, whoever puts the bike in front has the position, like [Johann] Zarco did with [Marco] Bezzecchi, who passed him and took the position.

“‘Taka’ kept accelerating, and as we went forward, he touched me and threw me [to the ground]. I think it was a very dangerous move, and luckily no one was going behind otherwise, I don’t even know what would have happened,” he said.

MotoGP will be back in action this weekend at Catalunya.

After finishing fifth in last week’s MotoGP round in Aragon, Takaaki Nakagami was finally offered a new multi-year deal to continue racing under the flags of HRC. The 28-year-old Japanese will be continuing his efforts alongside Alex Marquez in LCR Honda in 2021 and beyond. (more…)

Ketika ujian pra-musim MotoGP membuka tirai di Litar Antarabangsa Sepang (SIC) awal bulan ini, Repsol Honda gagal menempatkan diri dikalangan tiga terbaik bagi ketiga-tiga hari.

Tatkala ramai pihak mendakwa Marc Marquez masih bergelut dengan kecederaan namun selepas sesi ujian di Litar Losail, Qatar, kem Repsol Honda mula gemuruh.

Marquez sendiri mengakui dia tidak gusar dengan keadaan semasa bahunya sebaliknya bimbang jentera RCV 2020 tidak mempamerkan prestasi seperti yang diharapkan.

Memasuki malam terakhir di Losail, jurutera pasukan factory HRC bertindak meminjam RCV 2019 milik LCR Honda, Takaaki Nakagami lalu menyerahkan kepada Marquez dalam percubaan untuk mengesan apa yang tidak kena dengan jentera 2020.

Malah, pada hari terakhir ujian, Nakagami muncul pelumba Honda terpantas sekaligus meyakinkan Marquez untuk mencuba kembali jentera 2019.

Menurut laporan GPOne, komponen aerodinamik bahagian depan milik Crutchlow turut dibuka ketika sesi ujian semalam kelmarin, lantas memberi bayangan kem Honda sedang gusar tentang jentera mereka.
