Round 20
Lights and Shadows During the Last Qualifying of the Year in Valencia
Circuit Ricardo Tormo
Mixed luck at the Circuit Ricardo Tormo for Chantra and Ogura. Both riders had to go through Q1, which they completed well. In Q2, Chantra had a good pace and reached the top 10, while Ogura finished 17th.
Hiroshi Aoyama
Somkiat and Ai went to Q1, but they both did perfect lap times and managed to access Q2. In that second session of Qualifying, it was difficult for them to be in front positions. At least we now have more information, and I believe we can do better. Now we're P10 and P17; let's see how many positions they can win in the race.

IDEMITSU Honda Team Asia It wasn't our best day. We had to go through Q1, which wasn't a nasty session. But in Q2, the other riders went faster, and we were stuck in high 33s. It's not good because this pace is insufficient for tomorrow's race. We'll see how we start the race and then try to have the feeling with the bike. I will push to the limit tomorrow because it's my last race with the team, and I want to finish with a great result.

IDEMITSU Honda Team Asia I started the day going through Q1, and then, after a good session, I had access to Q2. There, I was finally able to get into the top 10, and tomorrow I will start from P10. I will give my maximum in tomorrow's race to finish the 2023 season in the best possible way.
