Last race for Nakagami as a full-time MotoGP rider

IDEMITSU Honda LCR rider Takaaki Nakagami finished 17th in his last Grand Prix in Barcelona.

Today’s race marks the end of an era for Nakagami and the LCR crew. After seven seasons of hard work, joy, struggles, passion, and unforgettable memories, the duo has completed their final race together. Nakagami’s resilience was evident as he focused on enjoying the laps and did his best with his package, finishing the race and savoring the last moments with the team at the garage.
The LCR team is deeply grateful to Takaaki Nakagami for his unwavering commitment over the years, his positive attitude toward the challenges, his fighting spirit, and his kindness to every member with whom he’s crossed paths through the seasons. We wish him all the best in his future chapter.

“I wanted a better result, but it was difficult, so I just focused on finishing the race and returning to the pits with my bike, as this was my last race, and that was the main goal. I want to thank the LCR team, HRC and IDEMITSU for their job and support every single season; they will always be in my heart, and I will never forget the great memories we’ve shared”.
