Taiyo Furusato secured 15th position after advancing to Q2, but he struggled to find the pace needed to challenge the top group in the final session. Tatchakorn Buasri experienced misfortune during his lap time attack; while aiming to earn a spot in Q2, he crashed and was unable to complete any timed laps, resulting in a 27th place start. Meanwhile, wildcard entry Arbi Aditama showed improvement, finishing in 22nd position.

It was a tough qualifying session for our Moto3 riders. The rain from last night left the track with a noticeable lack of grip, making it difficult for everyone to adapt to the changing conditions.
Taiyo Furusato performed well in Qualifying 1, advancing to Q2 where he finished in 15th position. Tatchakorn Buasri was also on track to reach Q2, but he had a significant crash. Fortunately, he’s okay and ready for tomorrow’s race, where he’ll start from 27th position. Meanwhile, wildcard Arbi Aditama managed to secure 22nd place.
Although it wasn’t an ideal session for us, Furusato and Buasri are heading in a positive direction. We’ll see how all three riders can catch up with the others tomorrow.

Honda Team Asia I'm quite happy to have reached Qualifying 2, finishing in 15th position. While it's not exactly where we wanted to be, we’ve made significant improvements since yesterday. Initially, it wasn’t clear that we could secure a spot in Q2, but we did it.
I made some mistakes in Qualifying, so we have to learn from that in order to perform tomorrow as best as possible. It’s positive that we’ve shown a rhythm that could put us in the fight for at least the top 10. I’m ready to give my best tomorrow.

Honda Team Asia We managed to identify areas for improvement as a team, and despite the less-than-ideal track conditions, I felt more comfortable on the bike. We made a step forward, but in Qualifying, although I was confident, I couldn’t achieve the result I was aiming for.
It’s not a bad position considering I’m a wildcard, but I want to be closer to the riders fighting for points. I’m aiming for a strong start in tomorrow’s race, keep learning and I can promise that I will give everything I have to achieve the best possible result.

Honda Team Asia In the last practice session, the lap times were quite good considering that we we’re using the rain settings. During the Qualifying session, I was pushing hard, but the track conditions weren’t ideal. Just as I was improving my best lap by 0.4 seconds, I lost the rear tire and crashed.
It’s a bittersweet feeling because the bike’s setup and my riding style feel good, and we made progress, but we’re not in an ideal starting position for tomorrow’s race. However, we’re aware of our potential, and we’ll give our best effort to score some points in Aragón.
