Without Miguel Oliveira at the Japanese GP, Lorenzo Savadori will be back in MotoGP for the third time this year in a race, where he will debut in the Trackhouse Racing colors, on a track where he has not raced for almost a decade and a half.
In a team statement, the Italian, Aprilia Racing test driver, began by leaving a word for Miguel Oliveira: ‘First of all, I want to express my hopes that Miguel can return soon and have a speedy recovery!’
Focusing on the next stage of the world championship, in Motegi, Savadori recalled the long absence from racing in the country of the rising sun, but was excited and eager to work, and to race for the first time with the American team:
– Regarding the Japanese Grand Prix, I haven’t ridden at Motegi since 2010, so it’s already more than 14 years ago but, it’s a nice track and I can’t wait to start Free Practice 1. I am happy to make my debut for the Trackhouse Racing Team and we will obviously continue to work on the bike in order to improve it each time I jump on it.
