JAKARTA - The Indonesian racer who took part in the Moto3 event, Mario Aji, failed to impress during the race at the Red Bull Ring Circuit, Austria, Sunday, August 21. Starting from 25th position, the Honda Team Asia racer finished 24th.

Mario Aji admitted, overall the Austrian Moto3 race was difficult for him. Had recorded a good time in the first free practice session, the rider from Magetan failed to continue in the following sessions.

However, Mario Aji saw that there was a positive side to this race. In data, he was able to appear consistent.

"From practice, we get a lot of positive things. The results are not there, but the team and I are still motivated for the next race at Misano to be better from the start," said Mario Aji in a written statement.

Honda Team Asia manager, Hiroshi Aoyama also admitted that the Austrian Moto3 race was difficult for his team. He said Mario Aji and his teammate, Taiyo Furusato, had struggled and tried to adapt their racing style.

"However, it doesn't seem easy to do so. The speed they have is not enough to keep up with the front group," said Aoyama.

"The last position is not what they and we want. They must continue to develop for the next race," he continued.

The next Moto3 2022 series will be held at Misano. The riders will have a race on September 4.
