Corner battle
Drifting the rear
Tamada hits Victory Corner perfectly every time
Others aren't so lucky. Many riders went down here.
In fact, all four American riders crashed out of the race in corner 1.
Some sustained broken bones.
Others managed to rejoin the race.
Bikes and riders both take a beating early on in the race.
Motegi's 3 straights allowed for some good top speeds
Snake Dance
Close calls are common
Big Crowd! The Japanese support their motorsports!

But Tamada is consistent and eventually widens the gap over Rossi
