Despite starting in the 18th and 24th positions, our riders showcased an exceptional performance. Theygained a lot of positions in the initial laps, demonstrating remarkable skill and determination. Tatchakorn's completed the race, something that holds significant importance for his confidence with the bike, while Taiyo's outstanding race management in navigating battles with fellow riders culminated in a commendable third-place finish. I extend my heartfelt gratitude to everyone involved, particularly our dedicated staff, supportive sponsors, and enthusiastic supporters whose unwavering encouragement fuels our team's success.

I’m happy but not totally satisfied with my race. I expected that I could be a bit more up, but well we completed the race. We need to work hard for the next race to be totally adapted to the tires and setting of the bike and fight for upper positions in Portugal.
