A huge boost for the sales of the new Yamaha and the R1 in Asia. :thumbup
First and sixth for a new model is great news for Yamaha

It was shown on Eurosport live for the first time. I forget to set the recorder on the TV but happened to wake up at 4.30 and remembered. I actually watched the rest live. A great result for the new bike, proved very reliable. Every time they built up a lead there was an incident and the safety car came out. I think that happened 6 times. Luckily the last time that happened 20 minutes to go the FCC Honda team were behind the 2nd safety car so were kept 1 min 10 back. If not that could have been an interesting last 10 minutes race through slower riders in the dark.
They could have won by a bigger margin.
Shows what you can do with a good bike plus a couple of MotoGP ringers in the team
They took to the bike well, likening it more to their M1 than a road bike.Happy 60th Anniversary Yamaha.
