MOTOGP FIM MOTOGP WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP ROUND 12 / OCTOBER 25, 2020 MOTORL AND ARAGON / TERUEL, SPAIN P100 "I am very happy with this win," said Morbidelli who is the first non-Spaniard to win at Aragon since Casey Stoner in 2011. "It feels a little bit different to when I won in Misano. It comes from the hard work that the crew has put in; they have done an unbelievable job and worked so well together to get this win. The bike was perfect during the race, I was feeling great and I just had to focus on getting the bike to the finish line in the shortest, fastest, time possible. Now home it will be difficult, I don't want to go out. It will be crucial for us to not miss any races." NAKAGAMI REWARDED Takaaki Nakagami is to be rewarded for his sterling efforts this season by HRC as the 28-year old signed a two-year contract with Honda to stay in the LCR team for 2021. Crucially, the Japanese rider will have the same spec-bike as Repsol riders Marc Marquez and Pol Espargaro when the season eventually kicks off. Nakagami has always been compet- ing with year-old RC213Vs since joining MotoGP in 2018. Briefly... (Above) Takaaki Nakagami (30) got to enjoy the fruits of being on pole for a few turns. Nakagami was primed to nab the first win of his career but that is going to have to wait. Brad Binder ran into the back of Jack Miller just a few turns into the race. Neither were seriously injured but their day was done early.
