The MotoGP circus comes back on track after a short break and it does it on the occasion of one of the best event of the calendar: the Italian GP at Mugello circuit. The sixth round of the 2023 season starts well for the Honda Asia team with Taiyo Furusato in the top 10 during the first day. The Japanese rider gets the 8th position on the grid in the qualifying practice, obtaining his best position ever. In the race, Taiyo is in the top 4 in the first laps, then he drops to the second group in the middle of the race. Unfortunately he crashes in the last corner of the last lap when he is eight, losing the opportunity to close his weekend with a good result.Mario struggles to find the feeling with his bike for the whole weekend. Despite the difficulties, he closes 20th today.Both riders stay confident for the next races and they will have a new opportunity already next weekend at Sachsenring.
MOTO3: MARIO SURYO AJI #64
Grid P18– Race P20
I don’t know what to say…it’s a shame. I felt well in the first part of the race, but suddenly I struggled with the grip, both in front and rear. It was impossible to ride as I liked it. I want to refocus for the next race, trying to forget this disappointment. It isn’t the end of the world. I will keep working and pushing the two races we have before the summer break. The key is to continue learning and growing, and we will find the way.
MOTO3: TAIYO FURUSATO #72
Grid P8– Race DNF
During the weekend, I felt optimistic. I have improved my performance constantly. DNF isn’t the best result of a race, even less if it’s the second in a row. During the first laps of the race, I was in the front group, then I dropped to the second group, fighting until the last corner to be seventh. I tried to overtake the last corner, and I crashed. Maybe it wasn’t the best option. But overall, I’m happy for the weekend.

A fascinating race. Mario and Taiyo started well, winning positions at the beginning. Taiyo was in the top 4 in some moments, keeping an enjoyable fast lap time. He dropped to the second group in the middle of the race but fought until the end. He was riding eight in the last lap, doing one of the season’s best races, but he couldn’t finish. It isn’t an excellent finish, but he showed us his speed. Mario struggled with a bike that he felt was different from the rest of the weekend. It’s a pity he couldn’t show us his potential at this moment. The end wasn’t what we wanted, but we showed we were there. Let’s see the next race.
