Hiroshi Aoyama Profile Photo
 Hiroshi was 5 years old when his father first took him to a “Pocket-Bike” race track. The passion for motorbikes and riding has since been the centre of his life. Hiroshi joined OKEGAWA ZYUKU at the age of 14 learning and experienced a lot about mini-bikes, motor-cross, dirt-tracks…etc. At the age of 18 he joined a highly regarded team “HARC-PRO”. Winning the championship in 2003, riding a GP250 in the Japanese Road Race Championship has lead him to start his World GP career in 2004, when Hiroshi was chosen as a first ever "Scholarship Rider" for HONDA. After scoring a 2 year scholarship deal, his career continued on with his new contract with KTM from 2006 to 2008. In 2009, he was back on HONDA once again with a new team "SCOT Racing Team"; competing against many Aprilias, Hiroshi secured the last world title for 250cc class. Just as a whole new challenge began in 2010 on Moto GP, Hiroshi suffered a spinal injury which made his following 2 years in a very difficult situation. He was transferred to the World Superbikes in 2012; however in 2013, Hiroshi will be starting afresh in Moto GP riding a CRT to follow his endless dream.
