Every year, we hold our traditional rally, and we went for it yesterday. This year, due to scheduling reasons with Gg (Jiji), who hosts the event, it wasn't a huge crowd; instead, we just went riding with a close group of friends. The pu...

It all started with those few words. It's been ten years already. No wonder we're getting older. Yesterday, I had a meeting with the team and spoke a bit firmly with them. We just happened to have some good runs during testing, but a 24-...

There was a little extra surprise at the end, but I'll let it slide! John crashed on the final corner of the final lap! Apparently, a rider right in front of him suddenly crossed paths with him to enter the pit lane. He was taught that t...

I went to the house of Jack, who drives the team trailer. His wife welcomed me with a wonderful home-cooked meal. They introduced me to all sorts of animals—dogs, cats, a donkey, chickens, carp, and goldfish—but I couldn't remember them ...

Coming from Spain, the cold in Paris really bites, doesn't it? On the flip side, it's pretty amusing to see the guys coming from the north walking around in short sleeves or light clothing like it's nothing. The third bike has been assem...

Cars A and B are fully built! Everyone did a fantastic job. Tomorrow, we are scheduled to work on the third engine for Car C. Things in life rarely go exactly as planned. But you all probably know and feel that well enough without me hav...

Assembly has begun in France. During the previous Almeria test, we had planned to ship three engines from Japan and assemble them, but due to a deficiency in the customs clearance process for the Honda parts, we weren't able to get ahold...

There must have been about 30 minutes left until today's scheduled finish time. However, we were able to wrap things up early and finished with our routine pit work practice. By now, I'm sure you all know what this means. Everything has ...

CoCo: 35.9 Alan: 36.0 John: 37.3 With 57 laps, that must be the highest lap count out there. In the very first meeting this morning, I started by telling them, "Best lap times don't matter! It's the average of all three riders that count...

The test is about to begin. I wonder if people can truly grasp this feeling? Halfway across the globe, near the exact opposite side of Japan, the 2026 TSR team has gathered as one to start turning wheels. Something like this doesn't just...

How would everyone interpret these words? The way meaning changes depending on the person is exactly what makes the Japanese language so fascinating. The trailer set off this morning, and the main crew will head south across the Eurasian...
