I have been here since Tuesday.The Japanese and European teams gathered and started preparation.The young French mechanic adds a really nice touch to the team.When I was watching TV at a friend's house, the Olympics in Milan were on.It w...

Since it was Sunday, I walked to the market, but a police officer had blocked the road.He told me, "It's the carnival."So, there was a carnival in the neighboring town.The weather had been rough for about two days,so I'm glad it cleared ...

Yesterday, my phone suddenly went off with a loud alarm.It was an alert warning us about severe winds.Recently, storms with heavy rain have been causing major disasters.I pray for the safety of everyone affected and for a swift recovery....

To the people of Japan,Thank you for your hard work in the election.This result is the path we have chosen.Whether someone won or lostis not the main point.In order to win,you need people who are willing to lose.It is the same in the wor...

Do you know the difference between a fiesta and a carnival?Don't worry!I don't know either. Japan is having its election, aren't they?I hope things take a turn for the better.We are currently preparing for the Almeria test.I'm sure this ...

We held the TSR team meeting this morning from 9:00 AM, Spain time. I wonder how many times we’ve done this since last year? It all started when we began reforming the team looking ahead to 2026. This is a very good thing.Meanwhile, in S...

Beautiful! The blue sky and... It is just absolutely gorgeous.Since someone like me with zero artistic sense is taking this on a phone, I don't know if its true beauty will come through to all of you, but...It is a flower that blooms by ...

The Japanese team did a great job.Thank you all for your hard work.Thank you!! Looking ahead to 2026, the team has made major changes to its structure.Simply put, we are creating a system where operations will be entrusted more to the Eu...

He’s a friend.Because I met this guy, I ended up living in Spain. The beginning of my second life in Europe started with staying at his house.His wife, Paqui, took devoted care of me. I’m grateful to them. The photo shows Bruno, whom I m...

I watched the movie F1 on the plane.It really moved me! But I think I felt it differently from everyone else.Watching a hopeless team fight and win on the world stage…I could truly feel the meaning behind it.It brought me to tears. Still...

Work at the Honda France garage started yesterday.There is something absolutely essential for racing overseas.And after doing it for 10 years or more, that becomes even more true.I think I mentioned this before, but Harada once said to m...

Yesterday morning, I went golfing in Ise.We had planned to play in Suzuka, but I thought it might snow, so we headed further south in Mie Prefecture instead.It turned out to be exactly the right call.But that’s not really what I wanted t...

She is a warrior. Racing is not done by the riders alone.That’s what makes it so interesting! The moments you see on trackare only an instant. To win,we do whatever it takes. Our greatest enemy is time.Whether we are fully prepared or no...

Just after I posted on the blog that we had started assembling the engine for Le Mans, the staff reported that a problem had been found.Can you see it in the photo?It’s a scratch you can feel with your fingertip.This crankshaft cannot be...

The race machine I sold the most was the RS125.I probably sold more than 10% of HRC’s total worldwide production.Every morning, we lined them up facing the road,and I remember how much work that was.Times have changed, and the tools have...

There are all kinds of conflicts in this world. And they probably will never disappear. I have no intention of explaining in detail what I mean, butif the leaders of each country were willing to settle things by racing for position on a ...

See you again tomorrow.

One of the most popular moments on my blog was Zarco singing at the Suzuka 8 Hours party.I’m sharing an additional video.Please enjoy it.

How is everyone doing?I’ll be in Suzuka over the New Year holidays, so I’m thinking of spending New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day at the TSR Café.So, if anyone thinks, “Well, if Fujii is there, maybe I’ll go hang out,” please feel free t...

A long time ago, I used to hate this day.When I was a child, I don’t remember my family ever being together. Tonight, while I was at the company,I realized everyone was leaving early to go home. LOL So… it’s Christmas. I’m a little drunk...
