Yukio's MotoGP holiday

Former British Superbike favourite and current factory Suzuki WSB rider Yukio Kagayama has cropped up in the paddock at the Sepang test – on a jolly!

Kagayama isn’t riding and has flown to Kuala Lumpur from Japan just to check out the first big MotoGP test of 2007 to see if he can pick up any tips.

He’s been out spotting several times on the track and said: “I just wanted to come and have a look. 

“I’ve been out watching a lot on the track just to see if I can pick up any tips from the MotoGP riders. 

“I prefer to be riding than watching but it looks like the 800s are not as much fun as the 990s.”
