This Japanese Grand Prix could well be a turning point in the race for the Moto3 category title. The latter in fact took a particular turn in favor of the Italian Lorenzo Dalla Porta who claimed victory during the last round in Thailand while taking note of the disappointment of his rival Arón Canet. Hooked by Darryn Binder who did not increase his popularity within the peloton, the Spaniard did not collect a single point in Buriram, thus finding himself 22 points behind the Leopard driver before the Motegi deadline…
Last year, Aron Canet qualified 19e au Japan and had not scored any points. On the contrary, Dallas Port started tenth to cross the finish line second. Driver Max Biaggi therefore finds himself in a delicate position, having returned to two lengths behind the transalpine leader before opening his overseas campaign.
The duel will be spiced up by the third thief Tony Arbolino who also lost a lot in Thailand due to a hand problem during the race. The Snipers driver still remains the man in form at the end of the season and can mathematically still hope to win before the end of hostilities.
The outsiders will be Ramirez, the second Leopard pilot, and McPhee, the resident of the Petronas team, who know how to be among the first when they are in good shape, like the latest winner to date Arenas. Japan will also see the return ofAntonelli and Can Öncü after their injuries while future driver Estrella Galicia Ryusei Yamanaka will be the distinguished guest for his national Grand Prix. Finally, over the last four years, it has been an Italian driver who has won at Motegi…
