Dream Debut for Nakano on Honda RC212C
17 August 2008
Despite a difficult start to the race, Team San Carlo Honda Gresini’s riders were two of the star performances of a dramatic Czech Republic Grand Prix that took place today at Brno. Shinya Nakano, making his first appearance on the Honda RC212V, put together an impressive charge through the field in the second half of the race to finish just short of the podium in fourth place. Despite only having limited track time to set the bike up, the Japanese rider established a good feeling with the new machine, finishing today’s race as the top Honda with his best result of the season.

Rough Ride for Honda Gresini at Laguna
21 July 2008
Team San Carlo Honda Gresini head into the summer break hoping to put another unfortunate Grand Prix out of their minds, with both Shinya Nakano and Alex de Angelis riding bravely to the points at Laguna Seca today but with their true potential certainly not reflected by 10th and 13th place finishes. It was always going to be a tough USGP for the pair after crashes in qualifying limited them to lowly grid positions, but in particular for De Angelis, who was riding with the added inconvenience of a broken thumb. The rookie rider put on a courageous display to finish in the points, whilst a potential top eight finish for Nakano was spoiled by a mid-race mistake.

Team San Carlo Honda Gresini Head to the US
16 July 2008
The MotoGP World Championship arrives at Laguna Seca for the tenth time in total, with the circuit that lies between the towns of Monterey and Salinas, to the south of San Francisco, having hosted the USGP on six occasions between 1988 and 1994 - as well as for the past three seasons. Seven of the nine races held there so far have been won by Americans, demonstrating the advantage of local knowledge at this unique circuit. Team Gresini have featured strongly, however, with two podium finishes out of three attempts thanks to consecutive third place finishes for Marco Melandri in 2006 and 2007.
