Takahisa Fujinami faces his 26th World Cup season in the top category, all in the same team, which is a great milestone for the Japanese rider, who claims to be in top form at 41 years of age. The first stop will be the Italian Grand Prix, which takes place over two days in Tolmezzo and will be the first contact in competition in 2021, as Fujinami does not take part in any regional championship.
In the history of racing in Italy, Fujinami has taken five victories and remains the rider with the highest number of podiums, 22. The goal will be to be on the podium regularly and occupy one of the top three positions by the end of the season.
