JAKARTA - Indonesian racer, Mario Aji, admitted that he was very disappointed with himself. The reason is, he failed to carve a positive result in the Dutch Moto3 qualifying session at the Assen Circuit, Saturday, June 25.

Mario Aji, who was impressive in the first free practice session of the Dutch Moto3, had to pass the first qualification. This is because his record time in the free practice session was not able to deliver him directly to the second qualifier.

In the qualifying session, the Honda Team Asia rider failed to record an impressive lap time. Mario Aji had to settle for 27th start after recording a time of 1 minute 43,686 seconds.

He will start one position behind his teammate, Taiyo Furusato.

"Honestly, I'm disappointed with myself. We tried to take some positive things, such as my feeling on a better bike in qualifying practice," said Mario Aji in a statement received by VOI.

"My ideal lap time was influenced by a bit of traffic chaos during the qualifying session. However, I am optimistic for tomorrow's race," he continued.

Mario Aji said he had to make a good start to get a good result at Assen. Understandably, he will start the race from the back position.

"The starting line is quite far behind the first corner. I have to overtake as many riders as possible in this first corner and try to have a good speed in the race," he concluded.
