Pol Espargaro on his debut has looked great, but for the rest it’s been tougher going. In 2020, Nakagami really came to the fore and established himself as a real contender. While he did not manage to get a podium, the progress made is very much something to build on for 2021. Speaking after the final day of running, Nakgami said: “Today we had to wait in the pit lane for a long time to get better conditions. In the end I tried to go out to check the track condition, but it was really difficult to make a lap and understand anything.Related ArticlesaccImages.createImage(); Nakagami talks es, new chassis, practice start spinaccImages.createImage(); Nakagami: This season we cannot make mistakes, ‘hybrid’ Honda style”We made a few laps but after that we changed strategy to making practise starts for the race weekend, and this was useful because it’s a new bike and a new system to start the bike.”It was very interesting and we got good feedback for the race weekend, unfortunately we were not able to make any long runs or do more laps, but we are ready for the race weekend. We’ll have a strong mentality and I can’t wait for the racing to start.”The season begins in exactly two weeks time on March 28, in what is the first of two races in Qatar.  Related ArticlesaccImages.createImage(); FIRST LOOK: Takaaki Nakagami’s 2021 Idemitsu LCR liveryaccImages.createImage(); LCR Honda announces Facebook team launches for Marquez, Nakagami
