Takumi Takahashi
“I'm happy to announce that in the 2021 season, I will participate in the #britishsuperbikechampionship with #hondaracing UK. British Superbike runs on circuits I've never raced, so I'm looking forward to it from now on. In the past, Ryuichi Kiyonari has won the championship, so I will do my best to be able to achieve good results.”
Havier Beltran – #hondaracing UK, team manager:
“The 2021 season is looking really exciting for #hondaracing UK, not only with the strong line-up we already had with Glenn, Ryo and Tom, but now to add Takumi and the experience he brings with him will really benefit the team. It’s been a busy few months organising Takumi’s move, but I know we’re all looking forward to getting out for pre-season testing and of course #racing at Oulton Park for the first round. The guys in the workshop are working hard behind the scenes on the Fireblades and we have a lot of things to test which have been developed over the winter. So, it’s all systems go and we’re looking forward to the season when we can go #racing.”
Neil Fletcher - Head of Motorcycles, Honda UK:
“We’re delighted to welcome Takumi to the team and the 2021 BSB championship. Takumi will be a great addition to the rider line up, joining Glenn, Ryo and Tom and brings an impressive and experienced career that I’m sure will benefit the team this season. It’s great that the jigsaw over the last few months is finally coming together, and we can now look forward to pre-season testing and we all can’t wait for the season to start at the end of June!”
Stuart Higgs – Bennetts BSB Series Director:
“The news of a third rider to the #hondaracing UK squad is good, the fact that is it a rider of the pedigree of #takumitakahashi together with his HRC credentials is great! This is an exceptional level of focus being placed on the Bennetts #britishsuperbikechampionship by Honda. The first race event may still be just under three months away, but the anticipation of a hugely exciting season is immense.”
