I was lucky I didn\u2019t crash, but I lost a lot of positions, from 12<sup>th<\/sup> to 23<sup>rd<\/sup> I think. <\/em><br \/>\n<em>That was tough because it\u2019s always difficult to move back up. The race pace was what we expected, 46 high to 47 low, but everybody had the same sort of lap time and it was difficult to overtake the guy in front. I didn\u2019t expect this race today, I\u2019m really disappointed with it. It was a big chance to finish in the top 10, but after the first lap it was over. I tried my best, but I\u2019m sorry to all my fans in Japan.\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>LCR Honda IDEMITSU rider Takaaaki Nakagami endured a challenging\u00a0day at his home Grand Prix at the Twin Ring Motegi.
