 Be first to comment this story
 The fifteenth round of the MotoGP Championship, will take place Sunday September 26th at the circuit of Twin Ring Motegi. The plant built in 1997 and owned by Honda, consists of two circuits, an oval of about 2.5 km and the road circuit of 4801 metres, which will challenge JiR Team Scot this weekend. Riders Andrea Dovizioso and Yuki Takahashi, of JiR Team Scot are ready and motivated to collect another good result on their way to the end of the season. Andrea Dovizioso took an excellent fifth place in the flooded conditions, and he wants to continue this series of positive results that currently place him in fifth position in the championship rankings.
Gianluca Montiron – Director – JiR Team Scot:
The Japanese Grand Prix for our riders will be an incentive to show to Honda at their ‘home’ race both riders’ full potential. Both can aspire to the podium. Andrea needs to continue the series of successes he’s had to consolidate his position in the championship, and Yuki too must earn points for his place in the standings. The track is technically a mix of slow corners and hard acceleration, which means the skills of both the riders and performance of the motorcycles are paramount.
Cirano Mularoni – Team Manager – JiR Team Scot:
The Grand Prix of Motegi is a significant event for the Team, because it runs on the circuit owned by Honda, in a picturesque setting and with a very positive ambience. Also our riders will want even more, to do well in front of Honda. Looking forward, we are confident that we can obtain good results in both categories. Andrea and Yuki will both have to maximize their skills and machine set-up, and for both the determining factor could be tyres.
Andrea Dovizioso:
At Motegi we have always gone well, I found myself comfortable at the track from the very first time. It is a circuit that reflects the characteristics of the chassis of my Honda, but we could find ourselves in difficulty thanks to the frequent acceleration out of the slow corners. I think we could make a good race and get another good result, as we have in recent races. We are competitive and we have to stay in front with the best. As always we will never give up at this track and a good result has an important meaning here for us as it’s Honda’s home circuit.
