I first met him in Malaysia in 1990 when he was riding for a Yamaha dealer team, sweating his way round circuits like Shah Alam and Johor Bahru but with a long term plan to make it onto the World scene.

Monster Energy Kawasaki‘s Villopoto had a poor start by his standards, finishing the first lap in sixth place.
