Pol Espargaro discusses taking on the unique challenge of the Suzuka 8 Hours glory from Honda.
“For sure the HARC-Pro Honda team will be hard to beat as they have factory support from Honda, they won the last two years and this year they have some great riders,” Espargaro said.
“We are keeping a close eye on them, but we have to believe in our own bike, team and motivation and believe that we can beat them. It will be a big challenge as this is a new race for me and Bradley but we will do everything we can to win this race for Yamaha.”
“If it is not effective, I will change my riding style a bit compared to MotoGP but either way I will manage. The important thing is I have a good feeling on the bike.”
“The tyres felt really good, quite similar to the MotoGP tyres actually,” he said. “Before I got on the bike I knew the tyres would work well because they're Bridgestone, but the level of grip and feel was actually quite similar to what I have in MotoGP.”
Espargaro admits that he has no doubts over his level of physical fitness but admits recent arm pump issues could be a question mark.
“At the moment I have some problems with arm pump, but in terms of preparing for Suzuka I haven't had to do anything different with my training compared to MotoGP as this is already at a very high level.”
