Sergio Higuchi关于Racing · MotoGP的点评

An 8-hour endurance race isn't won on speed alone. At a Suzuka where the rain came and went, the obsession of riders and pit crews staying keyed-up from corner entry to exit is the true identity of HRC's 5th straight win. I've felt that atmosphere on the ground myself many times, but the weight of this 5th win is extraordinary.
