■ Shigeki Honda (General Manager, HARC-PRO.)

“In Asia Road Racing Championship, Keito Abe continues with SDG HARC-PRO. Honda Philippines in ASB1000 class to reclaim the championship. In his second year, we aim for Abe to build on last year's single victory to achieve at least three wins; five wins would put the title well within reach.
In AP250, Jakob Sablaya is entering his third year and has mastered the tracks. After a frustrating end to last year due to a broken arm, he will be pushing hard from the opening round. Jakob will be joined by an experienced ‘senior’ rider in our satellite team: Aiki Iyoshi will compete for Team SDG with HARC-PRO. Iyoshi joins SDG Co., Ltd. this year as a ‘corporate employee rider.’ Having a teammate will be a plus for Jakob in this season will give its all in the races again this year.“

■ Kotaro Honda (Representative Director, HARC-PRO.)

“I would like to express my gratitude to SDG Co., Ltd. for their full support, which allows us to continue competing in All Japan Road Race Championship, FIM Asia Road Racing Championship, and the Suzuka 8 Hours in 2026.
In the top-tier JSB1000 class of All Japan Road Race Championship, we have newly recruited Yuki Kunii. While he faced challenges in the Moto2 World Championship last season, his potential is undeniable—as shown at 2025 Suzuka 8 Hours. As a team, we will take on Japan’s top riders in the premier class together.
For ST1000, we have Teppei Nagoe, who competed in JSB1000 class until last year. Although injuries prevented him from achieving his desired results last season, he starts fresh in ST1000. Having previously finished 2nd in the standings in this highly competitive class, he aims for the title and to bring the team its first championship in two years.
In ST600, Amon Odaki, who showed great potential during his rookie year, will be joined by newcomer Kai Aota. With this two- rider young talent structure, we aim to make a strong impact. We look forward to your passionate cheers and support for the 2026 season!”
