  • KONICA MINOLTA Honda Taken out of the Chinese GP
    Shanghai, China, Sunday 6th May, 2007 KONICA MINOLTA Honda taken out of the Chinese GP KONICA MINOLTA Honda suffered their first DNF of the season so far in the Chinese GP today, following an early-race clash between Shinya Nakano and Tech 3 Yamaha’s Makoto Tamada. The incident happened towards the end of the third lap at the tight hairpin after the long back straight. It appeared that Tamada missed his braking point and lost the front of his Yamaha M1 unfortunately taking Nakano down with him. Thankfully neither rider was injured in the crash. Shinya had made a solid start from 10th on the grid and had climbed to eighth on the first lap before dropping back to 10th. Casey Stoner won the race on the Bridgestone-shod Ducati from Valentino Rossi (Yamaha) and John Hopkins (Suzuki). The Australian now leads the championship by an increased margin. The first Michelin-shod Honda home was Repsol Honda’s Dani Pedrosa, who won last year’s race. Gianluca Montiron – Team Manager KONICA MINOLTA Honda “This is racing and these things happen unfortunately. After a good start Shinya was battling with Chris Vermeulen (Suzuki) and then Makoto Tamada (Yamaha) before the incident happened. It seemed as if Makoto lost the front at the last hairpin and crashed, unfortunately for us Shinya was just in front of him and got taken down. I would like to say that from our time with Makoto as our rider for many years we know he’s a good, clean safe rider and this was just one of those things.
