There's a story there somewhere…

Here's what's messed up with MotoGP these days: the same thing that's wrong with many other things…politics.  What they really seem to want is a great European rider, or the return of Valentino Rossi who (as the highest paid motorcycle rider in the world) hasn't won a race in years.  So when a stand-in test rider for Yamaha, **Katsuyuki Nakasuga,** filling in for Ben Spies (who hasn't seen a podium in a while) manages to start from the back of grid (second to last full row), and finish SECOND, what do they do?  They bury it. They don't even bother to translate the official interview with him (click here).

So what do we know about Katsuyuki Nakasuga? Next to nothing… But cheers mate, you did good!
