Asia Superbike 1000cc Race One

Yuki Kunii of SDG Team HARC-PRO Honda started the opening Superbike race at Motegi from pole position on Saturday afternoon, but the Japanese rider crashed on lap three after coming together with Nakarin Atiratphuvapat of Honda Asia-Dream Racing, which saw the race red-flagged.

The race was resumed and contested over nine-laps, at the end of which TKKR BMW’s Sho Nishimura emerged victorious by a nose at the flag over Thai rider Nakarin Atiratphuvapat.

Malaysia’s Hafizh Syahrin was a further six-tenths behind on the JDT Ducati, almost four-seconds clear of fourth-placed Soichiro Minamimoto.
