Endurance exercise in Qatar for our Moto2 riders. The asphalt conditions and the lack of grip complicated the mission for Chantra and Aji. The Thai rider finished 11th, while the young Indonesian rider completed his first race in the category in a creditable 24th position.

Today, I began the race from P15, which was a difficult starting position. Despite this, I gave it my all, and we managed to finish close to the top 10. While there were some challenges during the race, I believe everyone has a general idea of what occurred. The bright side is that the season has just begun. We will strive to perform even better in the next race, and I'm eager to see how things unfold in Portugal. I want to express my gratitude to everyone for their support.
