An unexplained crash during qualifying for the Suzuka 8 Hours — an unexpected tumble. It's long been said that a demon lives in the 8 Hours. In midsummer Suzuka, both track temperature and rider stamina push to their limits. A tiny crack in qualifying can echo into the final race. Firsthand voices from those fighting on the ground, like Ishizuka's report, carry real weight. I hope the main race goes off without a hitch.
