JAKARTA - Indonesian racer, Mario Aji, appeared quite surprising on the first day of Moto3 Italy at the Mugello Circuit, Friday, May 27, yesterday. He recorded a best time of 1 minute 58.153 seconds in the first free practice (FP1).

With that note, the Honda Team Asia rider took the 13th position in the combined lap times on the first day of Moto3 Italy. Mario Aji has the opportunity to qualify directly for the second qualification (Q2).

"We didn't expect to be able to achieve this on the first day here at Mugello. But from the first time off the track, I felt that I could be with the best riders, even on a long straight track," said Mario Aji in a release received by VOI.

Mario Aji said he could perform better when devouring fast corners. However, while on a straight track, he admitted a bit of difficulty.

"In fast corners like Arrabiatas, where you feel the adrenaline,"

The racer fostered by the Astra Honda Racing Team is ready to go all out in the third free practice session which took place on Saturday, May 28, morning local time.

"Later I will continue to race the bike for my first Q2 in dry track conditions. We have a good chance," said Mario Aji.
