We have just completed Moto3 qualifying here in Misano, and it's been a positive result for Taiyo Furusato. He achieved the first pole position of his career, which is an impressive milestone. We encountered some challenges in the morning, but the team successfully resolved the issues, allowing Taiyo to fight for a strong grid position this afternoon. While we didn’t expect to secure pole, we are delighted with the outcome.Tatchakorn Buasri also showed improvement compared to the last GP at Misano, but he is still struggling to achieve a better lap time. It’s crucial that both riders push hard from the start tomorrow, as race day is the most important. We aim to continue improving and hope for an even stronger performance in the race.

Honda Team Asia I'm extremely happy with today’s result. The day started a bit disappointingly after Free Practice 2, but the team and I worked hard to turn things around. We managed to resolve the issues with the bike, and I felt much better during the qualifying sessions.I’m particularly pleased with my lap in Q2, and securing pole position for the first time feels great. However, the race is what truly matters, so I will remain focused and give my best tomorrow.

Honda Team Asia First of all, I want to apologize to the team for today’s result. Despite my efforts to improve, I faced several difficulties during Q1. I had an issue with another rider who attempted to overtake me during my time attack, which prevented me from completing my best lap.For tomorrow’s race, I need to maintain a strong pace, push hard, and try to close the gap to the group fighting for points. I will continue to give my best effort and hope to see our hard work start to pay off.
