Shoya still in people heart on the eve of the 2013 season
Shoya's bike now in his parents's home
Now Shoya's bike stand in the room with all his personnal trophee
At what
would have been the popular Japanese rider’s home race, his parents were given
the Suter Moto2™ spec racer in full Tomizawa guise, just like the one he raced
on in 2010. The team prepared the machine in remembrance of the number 48, who
is still very much missed in the GP paddock.
Alain Bronec, le CIP et Nobby Ueda ont eu l’honneur de
remettre à la famille de Shoya Tomizawa, qui était réunie à l’occasion du Grand
Prix du Japon, un cadeau très spécial en guise d’un nouvel hommage. En présence
de Carmelo Ezpeleta, CEO de Dorna Sports, des membres des teams Technomag-CIP
et Technomag-CIP-TSR, les parents de Shoya, ses frères et ses grands parents
ont reçu avec joie des mains d’Alain Bronec et de Nobby Ueda, une des Moto2™ de
2010 avec laquelle Shoya roulait.
L’émotion était palpable et les parents de Shoya ont
chaleureusement remercié le CIP pour cette moto qu’ils vont conserver en
mémoire de leur fils.
Tribute to Shoya by Bethany Andrews on her blog
“Shoya Tomizawa stole the hearts of the motorsport world by winning the innaugural race of the year in Qatar. He proved not to be a one day fly by snatching the pole during the second race weekend in Jerez. Shoya got some real attention and even the younger people got the chance to know him and score an autograph. Although you see people who enjoy what they do, Shoya was an example of someone who loved what he did.

Querido Shoya.....
Querido Shoya...
Por Alberto Gómez
Dicienueve años no son una vida. Sólo un preámbulo antes de descubrir lo grande que es este negocio tan depravadamente breve en el que andamos enfrascados unas cuantas decenas de años. Unos días antes, otro niño, éste menor que tú, nos dejó enfangados en la más absoluta de las miserias. Y pensamos en nuestros hijos. Sufrimos por ellos.
Ser padre no es fácil, ¿sabes? La supervivencia para el tuyo es devastadora. Y para todo un mundo que te amaba. Japón está de luto. Y los mortales que cada día intercambiábamos una sonrisa sincera contigo, un apretón de manos, un gesto de felicidad de esa tan contagiosa con la que ibas contaminando el paddock, lo echamos en falta, lo extrañaremos. Del mismo modo que recordabas a Daijiro con ese 74 clavado en la retina de quienes lo conocimos.

I only really got to know Shoya Tomizawa after Jerez, early in the season. I had gone to find his crew chief Gilles Bigot, after oil had spilled onto the track from Shoya's Suter during the Moto2 race, sending nine bikes down the road on the opening lap.

I wrote this about "Tomi" earlier in the year. —JR
European fans have a new favorite: the rising star of MotoGP is a teenage kid from the seaside town of Asahi-shi. Shoya Tomizawa won the first ever Moto2 GP and set pole position for the second, finishing on the rostrum. For a rider who had only finished tenth in a GP before on a very private 250 Honda, those results would have been enough to guarantee him some new fans. But it wasn't just the committed and spectacular riding style that endeared him to the Jerez crowd and TV audiences but the way he has conducted himself.
