The JiR Team is ready to face these last four races with an unusual formation that will provide space for three riders which will give them the opportunity to compete with the best in the world and try their skills against the best in the world in the MotoGP circus.
It starts with Malaysia, at the Sepang circuit, for which GP the Team Principal Gianluca Montiron will engage the Indonesian Mohammad Fadly, current leader of the National Championship SS 600 and 7th in the Asia Road Racing Championship.
At Phillip Island will debut Kohta Nozane, young Japanese born in 1995, the current leader in the J- GP2 (class 600) championship, who will be with Team JiR also in the last race in Valencia.
In Japan, because of commitments previously defined by Nozane, will be deployed Tetsuta Nagashima, the twenty-years old test rider of TSR which can then give further support to the development in the field of the official bike for the upcoming season.
A program of increased workload according to the alternation of several riders on the official machine, that will give coherence to one of the core values of JiR in trying to promote deserving young people into the world of MotoGP as well as giving continuity with marketing programs already initiated with the sponsor.
Gianluca Montiron - JiR Team Principle
“Given the unavailability of Mike Di Meglio I decided to tackle the last part of the season giving continuity to the values that have always inspired the team, which means the desire to give space to young riders and to pursue sports projects that give lustre to our partners. Fadly is doing good things in his championships and deserves the opportunity, while Nagashima in Japan will give us the opportunity to test the development of parts for the 2014 bike. With Nozane the issue is a bit more wide-ranging as we will see him on new circuits for him. For the sport side I hope that these guys can make a positive experience by understanding the different level of competitiveness compared to their respective national championships.”
