Hopefully Yoshimura SERT Suzuki got it out of their system in Q2 so we won't have a repeat of last year

"The most important race for Honda" - HRC President Koji Watanabe

 

Holy shit, amateur hour from MARC VDS team rider and whoever the fuck 828 is.

 

Oops

 

Italy's Eurosport 2 is covering the race. I can access it via a magic stick a friend gave me.

Post #6

 

Where can I watch this if it’s still on?

 

Hardware for Rea and Miller. That makes 8 for Takahashi.

I thought they told him to just sit in the corner and let the first guys race. Was it Sumkiat?

 

Congrats to the finishers. I have been getting more and more into endurance motorcycle racing this year. The highlights that FIM WEC provides are good, but wish they were a little more detailed.

What's going on w/ the SERT Suzuki team? Weren't they the dominant force for years?

 

I just read a link that Somkiat didn’t ride?

 

A European-based team on the podium at Suzuka is extremely rare. Maybe once per decade? The Japanese don't joke about that race. Big money spent.

 

I assumed as much with it being Honda's track.
