With a productive Friday under their belts, Honda's Test Team set about getting the maximum performance out of the weekend in Motegi. Nakagami converted 20th on the grid to a solid 14th after the 12 lap Sprint. Takaaki Nakagami  30 Rider – MotoGP "Today is a strong day for Honda and it is nice to see the improvements coming for all Honda riders. Honestly speaking I was hoping for a bit more, it was a good recovery from 20th to 14th but the feeling with the bike was not the same as earlier. The engineers and I have time tonight to check everything and make a plan for tomorrow, today's Sprint was more difficult than I would have liked. More to come, we don't stop working."
