Former world championship riders Akira Yanagawa, Yukio Kagayama, and Noriyuki Haga appeared in the first installment of a roundtable interview. Yanagawa made his name winning the 1990 Suzuka 4-Hour, Kagayama won the 2007 Suzuka 8 Hours with Yoshimura, and Haga won the 1996 Suzuka 8 Hours alongside Colin Edwards before racking up 43 career WorldSBK wins. The three also revisited a 2006 crash in the Czech Republic.

From what I've seen trackside, just having these three in the same room talking about those days gives me chills. Haga's 43 career WorldSBK wins is an absurd number even by today's standards. Being able to laugh about that 2006 crash in the Czech Republic — that's an air only guys who've been through that kind of carnage together can give off.

I didn't realize Suzuka 8 Hours was that globally famous.

Haga's 43 WorldSBK wins is an absolutely insane record.

Want part two soon, hope it's not just crash stories though.

Just these three at the same table nearly brought me to tears.

Active since 1990 — the sheer career length alone is remarkable.
