Ryuichi Kiyonari, brought in by the Telefonica Movistar🎉 Honda team to replace the late Daijiro Kato from Le Mans onwards, has admitted that he won't be in the prem🌳ier GP class next season.
The inexperienced Japanese has done all that could reasonably be expected of him under the circumstances - claiming occasional points finishes and only a few crashes - but with almost every rider in MotoGP desperate for an RCV, including former GP winners, his days were always numbered.
"We have done a goꦏod job with the set-up of the bike and I am ready to push to the maximum in my last MotoGP race," said Kiyonari after 💞qualifying 20th out of 23 riders at valencia today. "I want to leave with a good memory, so I hope for a good result tomorrow."
Kiyonari is almost certain to be replaced by double WSBK champ Colin ▨Edwards.
Peter has been in the paddock for 20 years and has seen Valentino♉ Rossi come and go. He is at the forefront of the Suzuki exit story and Marc Marquez’s injury issues.
