Takumi Takahashi:
“I have taken part in #motogp tests several times and have been able to witness the level of the top riders with my own eyes. I am very excited to have this opportunity to participate in a #motogp race and I would like to thank #hrc for this opportunity. I will do my best and work at 100% hoping to match everyone’s expectation.”
