Important points for Nakagami in Austria

Starting from the 22nd spot of the grid, Nakagami demonstrated his unwavering determination with a strong start and clever management of the 28-lap race in his fight for points. He engaged in a strong battle against his rivals, refusing to surrender until the very last inch of the race. His effort saw him cross the line 14th, securing valuable points for the championship and being the first Honda bike in the classification.

CASTROL Honda LCR rider Johann Zarco finished 21st in the Sunday race at the Red Bull Ring.

Since the start of the race, an issue with the engine's power delivery has been a challenge for Johann Zarco. However, the Frenchman's decision to stay on track, in anticipation of the forecasted rain, was a strategic move. Despite the rain not arriving, he crossed the line 21st. The team will now analyze the data to understand the issue better and ensure improvements for the next races.

I decided to stay on track, hoping for a wet race, but it didn't rain, so I just took it as a session. To look at the bright side, we've worked well over the weekend, and I felt good on the bike in the previous practices. This is part of racing, and we'll improve for the next races. Our team is already working to prevent such issues in the future, and we're confident that we'll bounce back stronger.
