Hikari Okubo
“With one race left in my rookie year in the FIM MotoE World Cup, I can say that my feelings with the bike have been good. It has been a positive season and a great championship. This weekend will be the last round of 2021, so I hope I can get a positive result. In the last few races, we did quite well, and at the Austrian Grand Prix I got my best position of the campaign.
I like Misano because I have raced there many times in the World Supersport Championship, and I have been there for testing on a few occasions. I will try to have a strong performance in both contests, to round things off in the best possible way”.
