JAKARTA - Veda Ega Pramata said that finishing eighth in the 2026 German Moto3 Grand Prix race at the weekend did not meet his expectations after the positive results he got before the main race.

The racer who defends the Honda Team Asia started the race from 13th position at the Sachsenring Circuit, but was able to get eight points on Sunday, July 12, 2026. The result boosted his position in the standings even though it was not significant.

Veda said that he had fought to the maximum on the track, but the results were not in line with his aspirations after he had become the fastest in the Practice session on the first day.

"Finishing in eighth place is not the result we wanted after the speed we showed on Friday (July 10, 2026), but it is still important to bring home points and continue to learn," he said in an official statement from his team.

The 17-year-old racer from Gunungkidul actually started the race well. He managed to grab several positions in the early laps, but instead lost contact with the leading group after an incident.

The question made the distance with the leading riders so far that as much as he struggled to cut the time and improve the position according to his will.

"Overall, I think today's race was quite positive. Of course, starting from 13th place makes everything more difficult, but I was able to start the race well and grab a few positions in the early laps," he said.

Veda is now up to sixth place in the standings with 90 points or 141 points behind Maximo Quiles in the top spot. He is also still competing closely with Hakim Danish (86 points) in seventh place and Valentin Perrone (79 points) in eighth place.

He said that the results in Germany added to the positive record with the team throughout the first half of the season. He also hopes to be more competitive in the second half of the season.

"Every weekend I feel more confident on the bike. I will use the summer break to recover, prepare well, and come back stronger at Silverstone," he said.

The race will take a break for about a month and will only return on August 9, 2026 for the British Grand Prix at the Silverstone Circuit. The break will be very important for each team to conduct internal evaluations.
