“The Suzuka 8 Hours has been a fantastic experience and to share the Yamaha with Nakasuga-san and Locatelli was wonderful. I wanted to win, but we were up against strong competition. This was my second time riding in the 8 Hours, and I got on the podium. I definitely want to participate in the 8 Hours again as a Yamaha rider and get my hands on that big trophy. It’s true that racing in Japan didn’t leave me much time for a vacation, but now it’s time to focus on the World Championship again and the Austrian GP. I’m feeling very motivated. The Red Bull Ring is a track I really like and where I’ve had some good results in the past. I’m curious to see how the Yamaha will perform there, hopefully, we’ll be competitive right away and able to fight for some good points.”
