Tomorrow is the big day; the first race of the season is here
Lusail International Circuit
Our Moto3 riders Taiyo Furusato and Tatchakorn Buasri had a busy Saturday at the Lusail Circuit. The day commenced with Practice 2 in the morning and then moving on to Q1. Demonstrating commendable performance, the Japanese rider successfully advanced to Q2. The riders are gaining confidence, and we are sure they will give their all in tomorrow's race in Qatar.

Honda Team AsiaWe saw progress in our timings from Practice 1 to Practice 2, and both riders improved their times during qualifying. However, their starting positions are a little lower than we expected, but we believe they can perform even better in the race. Taiyo made it to Q2, showing strength, and Tatcha is adapting well to the bike. We're excited to see how they'll fare in tomorrow's first race of the season in Qatar.

Honda Team AsiaI'm not entirely satisfied with our performance. We made some progress to get into Q2, and the feeling is getting better, but it's not quite where we want it to be. Since it's the first Grand Prix of the season and we're still adjusting to new tires, we need to work on improving in all areas. I really hope that we tomorrow we have a good race.

Honda Team AsiaToday was a good day for me. I improved a bit compared to yesterday, about one second faster. I still need to push harder, but I'm happy that we found the right bike settings for tomorrow. In this first race, my goal is to keep getting better, stay on the bike, avoid big mistakes, and finish the race.
