Big crowds gathered to meet the MotoGP stars and for Taka it was a great opportunity to mingle with his passionate home fans.<\/p>\n<p>The local hero also got the chance to introduce some of his fellow riders to one of his country\u2019s great traditions on Wednesday as they visited Tokyo\u2019s Arashio Heya (Sumo House). Along with Franco Morbidelli and Jorge Martin, Nakagami trained with the local wrestlers before stepping into the ring with them and learning some moves from the iconic sport. It capped off a busy start to what Taka hopes will be a successful few days on home soil.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<style type=\"text\/css\">\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 {\n\t\t\t\tmargin: auto;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 .gallery-item {\n\t\t\t\tfloat: left;\n\t\t\t\tmargin-top: 10px;\n\t\t\t\ttext-align: center;\n\t\t\t\twidth: 20%;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 img {\n\t\t\t\tborder: 2px solid #cfcfcf;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 .gallery-caption {\n\t\t\t\tmargin-left: 0;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t\/* see gallery_shortcode() in wp-includes\/media.php *\/\n\t\t<\/style>\n\t\t<div id='gallery-1' class='gallery galleryid-2180 gallery-columns-5 gallery-size-medium'><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/frentubo.it\/en\/2018\/10\/taka-aiming-to-celebrate-new-contract-at-motegi\/_ak10042\/'><img width=\"300\" height=\"200\" src=\"https:\/\/frentubo.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/AK10042-300x200.jpg\" class=\"attachment-medium size-medium\" alt=\"\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/frentubo.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/AK10042-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/frentubo.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/AK10042-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/frentubo.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/AK10042-1024x683.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/frentubo.it\/en\/2018\/10\/taka-aiming-to-celebrate-new-contract-at-motegi\/_ax20137\/'><img width=\"300\" height=\"200\" src=\"https:\/\/frentubo.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/AX20137-300x200.jpg\" class=\"attachment-medium size-medium\" alt=\"\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/frentubo.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/AX20137-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/frentubo.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/AX20137-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/frentubo.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/AX20137-1024x683.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/frentubo.it\/en\/2018\/10\/taka-aiming-to-celebrate-new-contract-at-motegi\/_ak20377\/'><img width=\"300\" height=\"200\" src=\"https:\/\/frentubo.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/AK20377-300x200.jpg\" class=\"attachment-medium size-medium\" alt=\"\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/frentubo.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/AK20377-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/frentubo.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/AK20377-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/frentubo.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/AK20377-1024x683.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/frentubo.it\/en\/2018\/10\/taka-aiming-to-celebrate-new-contract-at-motegi\/_ak20075\/'><img width=\"300\" height=\"200\" src=\"https:\/\/frentubo.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/AK20075-300x200.jpg\" class=\"attachment-medium size-medium\" alt=\"\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/frentubo.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/AK20075-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/frentubo.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/AK20075-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/frentubo.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/AK20075-1024x683.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/frentubo.it\/en\/2018\/10\/taka-aiming-to-celebrate-new-contract-at-motegi\/44358955_10156812980119044_8183532696119541760_o\/'><img width=\"300\" height=\"200\" src=\"https:\/\/frentubo.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/44358955_10156812980119044_8183532696119541760_o-300x200.jpg\" class=\"attachment-medium size-medium\" alt=\"\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/frentubo.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/44358955_10156812980119044_8183532696119541760_o-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/frentubo.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/44358955_10156812980119044_8183532696119541760_o-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/frentubo.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/44358955_10156812980119044_8183532696119541760_o-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/frentubo.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/44358955_10156812980119044_8183532696119541760_o.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl><br style=\"clear: both\" \/>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n<h4><strong>Takaaki Nakagami<\/strong><\/h4>\n<blockquote><p><em>\u201cAs you know, this race is my home GP and I think we started the weekend in the best way announcing my renewal with Honda HRC and the LCR Honda IDEMITSU Team for 2019. On Tuesday, with Cal, Marc and Dani we visited the Honda HQ for a Fan Event and I could feel the huge support of my fans. The same this morning when we visited the Honda R&amp;D Department. I also experienced Sumo on Wednesday and it was very interesting\u2026 but very tough sport honestly. It\u2019s going to be a very busy weekend for me, but I\u2019m happy to be here and will do my very best to get a good result for my family and my fans\u201d.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Takaaki Nakagami heads to Motegi for his home Grand Prix having agreed an extension to his contract with the Honda HRC.\u00a0It was confirmed this week that the Japanese talent had signed a new one-year deal with the Japanese Manufacturer riding with Lucio Cecchinello\u2019s outfit in the 2019 MotoGP World Championship, having made his debut in &hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":2187,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[26,24],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/frentubo.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2180"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/frentubo.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/frentubo.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/frentubo.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/frentubo.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2180"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/frentubo.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2180\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2194,"href":"https:\/\/frentubo.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2180\/revisions\/2194"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/frentubo.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2187"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/frentubo.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2180"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/frentubo.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2180"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/frentubo.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2180"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
