According to Eiji Kobayashi, Suzuki Philippines General Manager for Motorcycle Sales and Marketing Division, “The most successful team in the IGRP4 kept its word of coming up with even better performances and an even improved racing program. Despite our limited time for bike preparation and practice at the race track, we have met our expectations in IRGP5.”

He adds, “This feat is not possible without the tremendous efforts of the management, the racers, and practically everyone behind the wheels.”

SPH President Satoshi Uchida stressed that, “Team Suzuki Pilipinas firmly believes that part of the full understanding of motorcycle-riding or any vehicle is that safety should always come first.”

Uchida furthers,”We are one with IGRP in celebrating our passion for the sport and in developing talents from the grassroots level. Soon, I see Filipino riders take the center stage in this sporting event. ”
