2011 Motegi MotoGP Friday Round Up - In Case You Didn't Know, Honda Owns Motegi
The first day of practice was summed up succinctly by Colin Edwards, in the TV interview that all of the riders do with MotoGP.com at the end of each day. The bike felt good, Edwards said, the front feels planted, he felt good on the bike. "It's just them frickin' Hondas!"
A quick glance at the timesheets and you can see his point: places one to four are taken by factory Honda RC212Vs, the three Repsols leading the San Carlo Gresini bike of Marco Simoncelli. The layout of the track helps a lot: a lot of slow corners leading onto long straights, and a fast back straight thrown in for good measure. The Honda's strong points are outstanding acceleration and good top speed, exactly what is needed to go around Motegi at a decent clip.
That should hardly come as a surprise. Motegi is owned by Honda, and as Casey Stoner pointed out, this track is one of the tracks the RC212V is developed around. Although Honda's test riders - including wildcard riders Kousuke Akiyoshi and the hoary veteran Shinichi Itoh, riding a stunning RC30 tribute HRC livery in red, white and blue - divide their time between Suzuka and Motegi aboard the MotoGP bike, Motegi remains a key track for the factory, where much of their development is done.
