DIFFICULT SUNDAY FOR TAKAAKI NAKAGAMI AT THE CIRCUIT OF THE AMERICAS

LCR Honda IDEMITSU rider Takaaki Nakagami couldn’t finish the race at the COTA due to a crash at the track’s first turn.

The Grand Prix of the Americas turned out to be quite demanding for the Japanese and the crew, as track conditions, lack of grip at race time, and a crash at turn one smashed the plans. At that moment, he occupied the 9th position—a real shame as he was doing a consistent race that could have ended with a positive result. The rider is fine and hasn’t suffered any consequences.

“We’ve been unlucky because I felt good and comfortable on the bike before crashing, and we could have grabbed important points. The main thing is that we’ve taken a step forward, and we’ll try again in Jerez”.
