Sergio Higuchi关于Racing · MotoGP的点评

'Able to properly update myself every single race' - that line is packed with the real feel of Shimoda's growth. In motocross, whoever can update themselves race by race is the one who rises. Winning a heat at rough Redbud and taking the points lead isn't just momentum. It's the riding of someone who's been building steadily. Makes you want to cheer him on.

A first win in conditions worsened by heavy overnight rain makes the result even more impressive.
