俺もトラックに当てられたのが、ノリック事故から３年後の翌日で­したが、軽傷ですみました。

普通なら生きていないと思われる軽と１０トン車との事故で、２０­０１年までのＷＧＰ優勝も見届けたファンだったから、ノリックが­後ろにいたのかな？

この年は、もうレース観戦辞めていました。

[kswdragon74]

i love the way norick pull's the bike to get a tighter line check it out at 1.35

[Neosophist]

懐かしい！合掌。 あなたの家族と友人たちへの弔辞。

[tubbato]

it's norick, this is his riding stile

[cub3865]

I'm Japanies.

It's Norick. Stauffer is his teammate at this race.

[pdipaul]

its says stauffer/abe in the timing box the abe part is in japanese. the commentator says norick like 20 times in this 2+ minute clip. plus the riding style...

[Metal190W]

its not norick, cleary says in the box Stauffer, and bout the number maybe cuz is suzuka 8h, same bike for both riders no?

[kswdragon74]

norick helmet and his riding style stands out

[vtwinlunatic]

Well, Im gonna buck the trend and say that I reckon it IS Norick on the R1 there, he did partner Jamie Stauffer at the 8hr and the caption clearly says 'Stauffer' but the lid design is Noricks and the riding stle although differing from his wild 500cc days is still evident. Of course a 1000cc road bike based machine would need a radically differant riding style to a featherweight 500, so this and the passage of time could explain the differances.

[chikitof1]

that bike sound beautiful reminds me of pop corn popping

[Japhrodisiac]

You are correct, that is Jaime Stauffer, as per the timing box on the right side of the lower screen. Are we the only ones to notice?

[Mapanda]

The number on the machine is 81. which is Abe's. I suppose it is him,I think. 81=JP tel number calling from abroad, the guy taliking says.

[Neosophist]

It's not Jaime Stauffer, It's Norick Abe, see my latest comment. BOTH names of the 81 team are on that box. However, Norick's is written in native Japanese... Hence Stauffer / 阿部典史

[Japhrodisiac]

Once again, this is not Abe, but Jaime Stauffer. Not like Abe's riding style at all.

[Japhrodisiac]

It Says Stauffer in the timing box - Jaime Stauffer

[n70greg]

Norick Abe,Noriyuki Haga and Daijiro Katoh are the three best motocycle racers japan had ever produced.

What channel was this on? I'm interested to know.

攻めた走りで最高です！！

事故現場に行って阿部典史選手のご冥福を、お祈りしてきました・­・・

悲しく、虚しく、悔しい気持ちが込み上げてきました。

ありがとうノリック、さようならノリック・・・

[Papicsullo26]

R.I.P I really like his driving style

Rest in peace

[RomeoEskobar]

Awesome lap, he had a unique style - RIP

[habu1970]

この走りが２度と見られないかと思うと悲しいです。
