Test at Okayama International Circuit: Comments from Manager and Riders
■Masakazu Fujii, General Manager
The results of the 2024 races were the worst in history. To overcome this, we made significant reforms to the team before the test. As a result, this test was the best ever. We are moving forward.
■Alan TECHER, Rider
Firstly, I’m very happy to ride this team’s machine again. This time, we were able to conduct various tests on Bridgestone tires. The 2025 model CBR1000RR-R Fireblade worked well, and it was very enjoyable to ride. We were also able to find a good package for the opening race at Le Mans. I want to confirm if this is correct in the next test in Spain. For now, I’m very satisfied. The two new teammates are nice guys, and I think they get along well with me, which is great.
■Corentin Perolari, Rider
This was my first time joining this team, and it was also my first time with the machine and circuit, but I found the 2025 model CBR1000RR-R Fireblade to be a very good machine. I like this machine. I also found that I like Bridgestone tires. I discovered that the machine is competitive for Le Mans, and now I’ll proceed step by step.
■Taiga Hada, Rider
This test progressed better than I imagined. The average was good, and we finished without crashes. I quickly got used to the bike, and the teamwork was excellent. The riders’ heights are all about the same, making various adjustments easier. In 2025, I aim for the world championship as long as I’m racing. Achieving this goal will require not just the riders but also the team staff. With high teamwork, we aim for the world championship!
