JAKARTA - Astra Honda Racing Team (AHRT) has released an array of riders to navigate the 2023 season. There is one name that will be of concern.

He is Veda Ega Pratama. This young racer will remain the mainstay of AHRT in the Asia Talent Cup. He is expected to exceed his achievements last season at ATC 2022, where he successfully finished third in the final standings.

At the ATC event, AHRT will field two other riders besides Veda. They are Reykat Fadillah and Chessy Meilandri.

Apart from ATC, Veda will also navigate the Asia Road Racing Championship 2023 with a new player. He was promoted to appear in the Asia Production 250 class. "I am grateful to have won the trust of AHM again to compete in the ATC event and get a racing opportunity at ARRC," said Veda during the team's introduction at the IIMS 2023 event which took place at JIEXPO Kemayoran, Thursday, February 16.

"Of course I have to be more prepared, adapt and also continue to train both physically, mentally, and racing skills, where I will use two different motorbikes at different racing events," he continued.

At ARRC class AP 250, Veda will be accompanied by seniors, Rheza Dania Ahrens and Herjun Atna Firdaus. Both have the same mission, bringing back the AP250 class championship trophy with CBR250RR.

Meanwhile, for the Supersport (SS) 600 class, AHRT will be represented by M. Adenanta Putra, who last season displayed impressive performance in the AP 250 class. He will be duet with former AP 250 champion,▁ditangkap Salim, a racer who has a lot of experience in various racing clubs to Europe.

Meanwhile, the ARRC champion in the SS600 class race season 2022, Andi Farid Izdihar, will advance to class this year. He will fight at the Superbike (ASB) 1000 level with Honda Asia Dream Racing.

The competition for racing in the Asian continent will also be enlivened by the performance of other young racers with AHM's talent, namely Decksa Almer Alfarezel and Muhamad Kiandra Ramadhipa. Both are ready to appear at the Thailand Talent Cup (TTC) using a Honda NSF250R motorbike.

Meanwhile, to head for racing competition in Europe, Fadillah Arbi Aditama remains plotted for the FIM JuniorGP World Championship. Last season, he achieved quite a satisfactory result even though he couldn't talk much.

Turning to the land track track track, AHM also continued racing in the motocross segment with M. Delvintor Alfarizi and Nuzul Ramzidan. This year, Delvintor will not only compete in the MX2 class National Motocross Championship.

Adel, Delvintor's nickname, will compete in 10 Motocross World Championship FIM rounds in the MX2 class held in Europe, namely Italy, Portugal, Spain, France, the Czech Republic, Belgium, Sweden, and the Netherlands, as well as two rounds in Indonesia.

Nuzul Ramzidan, who won the third best title last year at the 2022 National Motocross Championship in the MX2 class, will again compete in the same event this season.

"We will continue to accompany the talents of racing in the country in making the nation proud in the world racing realm. Hopefully this can inspire other young people to struggle to achieve their dreams," said AHM Marketing Director Thomas Wijaya.
