Races    – Racing News –

Finished!

Alan crashed twice, and Taiga crashed once!
The riders are okay.
However, the bike was damaged beyond repair, so our day is over.
I gave the order to end the session for the team.
I gathered the riders together and spoke to them as well.

It reminded me of something my father used to say long ago:
“Masakazu! A rider who crashes is an unskilled rider!”
I’m not trying to argue whether that is right or wrong.
Motorcycles crash.
And we have to overcome that reality!
Well… I suppose it just means I’m still a kid myself.

Now then, this will be the end of my own Suzuka 8 Hours reports.
The company has prepared someone much more proper for the job.
Please look forward to it.
