Linfoot’s Moriwaki team top final Suzuka Eight-Hours test

Dan Linfoot has made his Suzuka debut with the Moriwaki Motul Honda team and the squad delivered a big surprise by topping the final Eight-Hours test times ahead of the iconic race later this month.

Linfoot, who is a Suzuka virgin, with team-mates Ryuichi Kiyonari and Yuki Takahashi finished the three-day test two-tenths ahead of the factory MuSASHi squad - which features MotoGP star Jack Miller - which posted a 2’07.593. Both teams are running Bridgestone tyres.

Alex Lowes’ factory Yamaha team were third and a further tenth in arrears while the FCC TSR team, also running a works-supported Fireblade with Dominique Aegerter and Stefan Bradl at the helm, ended in fourth place on a 2’07.700.
