Former HRC Vice President to take on new role within Dorna Sports

Shuhei Nakamoto has joined Dorna Sports as a special advisor; the former HRC vice president will take on a role in the management and organisation of the company’s Talent Promotion department together with Alberto Puig – including the Asia Talent Cup, British Talent Cup and the European Talent Cup. In addition, Nakamoto will also be supporting and liaising with Asian riders, bringing his insight and experience to the generation of tomorrow.
