Takaaki Nakagami signs for MotoGP 2024
Takaaki Nakagami, a two-time Moto2 race winner, has been with the LCR Honda team since moving up to the premier-class in 2018. His best season was in 2020, where he achieved fourth place twice and secured pole position at the Aragon Grand Prix. However, Nakagami’s performance has declined in recent years, with him finishing 15th in 2021 and 18th in 2022. Despite this, LCR Honda Team Principal, Lucio Cecchinello, expressed his confidence in Nakagami and his belief that the team can continue to push for better results. Nakagami, who considers LCR his family, expressed his gratitude for the opportunity and his determination to work even harder for the future. Next year, Nakagami will have a new teammate, Johann Zarco, as Alex Rins is replaced. The only remaining open seat for the 2024 season is at Gresini Ducati, while KTM still needs to find a place for Pedro Acosta.
