Chiba ( JPN ) - 9 / 2 / 1992

Victories at the 2016 Dutch GP and the 2017 British Grand Prix convinced HRC to promote him to the MotoGP™ class in 2018 . He scored 33 points that year and 74 in 2019 despite carrying a shoulder from the Dutch GP . Nakagami arrived as a MotoGP™ force in 2020 however , scoring top ten finishes in each of the first ten races . He failed to continue that form in the following two years , however , as a variety of issues with an uncompetitive machine saw him score a single best result of fourth . With compatriot Ai Ogura waiting in the wings , Taka knows he must perform this year .
