JAKARTA - Two Pertamina Mandalika SAG riders, Gabriel Rodrigo and Bo Bendsneyder, were challenged ahead of the Mandalika MotoGP race, Indonesia. The two riders were challenged to answer questions about Indonesia, the country that will hold the second series of the 2022 MotoGP race.

The Mandalika MotoGP is considered a home race for both of them considering that the Mandalika SAG team carries the name of Indonesia in the MotoGP event. This team is the result of collaboration between Mandalika Racing Team Indonesia (MRTI) and Stop and Go (SAG).

Do the two riders know much about Indonesia? Unfortunately no. Of the 12 questions, there are only five that can be answered.

While the rest can not be answered both. Among them are about Indonesian specialties, animals that only exist in Indonesia, and the number of islands in Indonesia.

There was a funny moment when both of them were asked what the Indonesian word for "hello" was, Rodrigo replied, "I only know the word semangat (spirit)." While Bendsneyder had absolutely no idea.

Bendsneyder is the winner in this challenge. He was able to answer four questions. The first is the question of how many times MotoGP has been held in Indonesia. Then the question of how many Indonesian racers are in the current Grand Prix world championship.

The question that can also be answered by the Dutch racer is how many colors are on the Indonesian flag. Another one is the Indonesian national language.

While Rodrigo only answered one question, namely about the capital city of Indonesia, namely Jakarta. "I thought, where are we flying to, Jakarta," Rodrigo told Bendsneyder.
