Losing a couple of positions from pole, first rider Nakasuga was quick to carve his way to the front as he chased down the race leaders. By lap three he had climbed up to sixth and kept the pressure on. He made his move as one by one the competitors went into the pits, showing the incredible potential of the YZF-R1 when he dropped a stunning 2\u201908.496s on his sixth lap, the fastest lap time of the race.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Naka<strong>s<\/strong>uga was scheduled to come in after 25 laps but completed an extra two before heading in as the race leader and handing the YZF-R1 to Smith. The <strong>British<\/strong> rider re-entered in third position, but soon moved up when the race leader crashed out of the race. <strong>Smith<\/strong> then had to deal with two separate safety car stints before finally taking the front a little more than two hours into the race.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">It was then <strong>Espargar\u00f2\u2019s<\/strong> turn to take the YZF-R1 for a spin. The Spaniard had been consistently fast all weekend and didn\u2019t disappoint today. He and Nakasuga created a comfortable margin before it was time for Smith to ride again. He was only able to complete a few laps before being called in for a 30 second <strong>\u2018Stop and Go\u2019<\/strong> penalty for <strong>Espargar\u00f3<\/strong> having passed under a yellow flag. The penalty cost them a position but it wasn&#8217;t long before Smith was back in first place and building a healthy gap before handing the bike over to Espargar\u00f3 for a second time. He and <strong>Nakasuga<\/strong> gave their all in their final riding stints before handing over to Smith for the last leg.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The <strong>Brit\u2019s<\/strong> final ride of the race was far from simple as a third safety car caused some last-minute tension. <strong>Smith<\/strong> was again able to manage the situation perfectly and rode his factory <strong>Yamaha YZF-R1<\/strong> through the last corner to the deafening sound of cheering from the many thousand race fans as he took the chequered flag with a 1&#8217;17.411s advantage.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Reigning Endurance World Champions<\/strong> <strong>GMT94 Yamaha<\/strong> proved today that their strategy of focusing on the race set-up during qualifying had been the right one. Originally their first rider <strong>David Checa<\/strong>, decided to let <strong>Kenny Foray<\/strong> fill in for him at the start as he had only recently recovered from a knee injury. Foray was quick to adapt to the choatic first lap and started to make his way to the front. He and teammates Kenny Foray and Mathieu Gines showed how effective a strong team can be as they battled the entire eight hours to ride from 20th to fourth.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">It was a disappointing day for the <strong>Monster Energy Yamaha Austria Racing Team (YART)<\/strong>. Having qualified 11th on the grid <strong>Broc Parkes<\/strong> had a good start and was quick to move up the order. He had a strong and consistent pace of 2\u201911.0 but his challenge came to a premature end when a technical issue made it improssible for the team to continue.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Besides the success of the Factory team, <strong>team R1<\/strong> &amp; <strong>YAMALUBE<\/strong> also gave <strong>Yamaha<\/strong> fans reasons to cheer. They crossed the finish line in 21st position, thereby coming out victorious the <strong>Superstock<\/strong> class.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Yamaha Factory Racing Team went above and beyond all expectations today at the Suzuka Circuit, riding the new YZF-R1 to a phenomenal victory at the 38th \u201cCoca-Cola Zero\u201d Suzuka 8 Hours Endurance Road Race.
