LCR Honda IDEMITSU rider Takaaki Nakagami has finished 9th in Jerez, grabbing solid points for the championship. 

The Sunday race on Spanish soil has been quite demanding due to the hot temperatures and unexpected events, as the MotoGP grid had to restart it due to a red flag at the beginning.

When being able to be on track again, Takaaki pushed, set his pace, and didn’t make mistakes. He crossed the line 9th, being the first Honda of today’s classification.
