Yoshimura SERT Motul Team Director Kato speaks of pride following EWC DNF
Yoshimura SERT Motul Team Director Yohei Kato has spoken of his pride after a mechanical failure robbed the Japanese squad of a possible Bol d’Or victory repeat and, in all likelihood, a second consecutive FIM Endurance World Championship crown. After Gregg Black held the lead during the early stages, Kazuki Watanabe was on board the #1 Suzuki GSX-R1000R when trouble struck on 34 laps. Ad Despite working for more than three hours to try to rectify an engine overheating issue, the team was forced to retire.
