Takaaki Nakagami has not yet officially signed anything with the HRC for 2020. All this because he is demanding the right to ride next year with a Honda at least as advanced as the three other drivers of the clan bearing the winged coat of arms . A privilege which he can nevertheless be relieved not to enjoy this season given the difficulties encountered by Jorge Lorenzo and his teammate Cal Crutchlow on the current opus coming out of the Tokyo factories. Because in Thailand, he owes his top 10 to his 2018 machine…
remove Marc Márquez and you will have a factory Honda less happy to read the ranking of the last Thailand Grand Prix. In fact, you would have to go down to tenth place to find any trace of an RC213V. It would go back to last year and it would be piloted by Nakagami.
Jorge Lorenzo finished 18e et Cal Crutchlow 13e. We are therefore far from the overall results of Suzuki ou Yamaha seen in Buriram. What’s more, to get there, the Japanese had to give it his all: “ I rode hard every lap and was able to set very consistent times. Francesco Bagnaia was always less than a second behind me, it was grueling » admitted the 27-year-old Japanese. “ I'm happy with my other top 10. It was important for me before my home race in Japan. I can't wait to get back to Motegi! »
