The Moto3 qualifying session concluded under good weather conditions at the Red Bull Ring, with a dry track throughout the day. Taiyo was the fastest rider in Qualifying 1, which allowed him to advance to Q2—a positive result. However, he was unable to improve his lap time in the second session, partly due to another rider crashing ahead of him while he was on a fast lap. Ultimately, he finished in 17th position. Fortunately, he avoided a crash, which is the most important thing.
Meanwhile, Tatchakorn Buasri faced some challenges during the morning session, but after making adjustments to the setup, he performed much better in the afternoon qualifying. He managed to finish in 20th position. Both riders need to focus on improving for tomorrow's race. Furusato has the pace, and Tatchakorn is making steady progress in the right direction. We hope they have a strong start tomorrow and can achieve a good result.

Honda Team Asia Today wasn't bad. I improved from yesterday and felt really good during Qualifying 1, especially riding alone and setting the fastest time. Physically, I'm okay with no pain from the injury. However, in Qualifying 2, I struggled to find the right position on the track, and I made a mistake by pushing alone. My Q2 wasn't great, but I have a good pace, so I’m hopeful I can gain positions and move up in tomorrow's race.

Honda Team Asia Today’s result wasn’t ideal. I started the day poorly during the final practice session, but we made some changes to the bike's setup, and I felt more confident in Qualifying 1. Although I finished in P20, which isn’t the result I wanted, I believe we’re moving in the right direction. I promise to give my all tomorrow and aim for the best performance possible.
