After 3 weeks off, the Moto3 teams and riders came back on track, at Assen, for the eight round of the World Championship.
Taiyo Furusato and Tatchakorn Buasri used the first free practice day to find the right set up and get familiar with the track. The second day was very good for the Honda Team Asia: Furusato delivered an outstanding performance, securing a spot in the front row by finishing second in qualifying and demonstrating a strong path. Buasri, at his debut race in the Dutch circuit, improved compared to the first day.In the race both riders performed well, despite the final result. Taiyo began the race with a strong start and was a contender for victory.
Unfortunately, during a particularly challenging segment involving intense competition with other riders, he made a mistake in the second half, he lost positions and finished in 13th place. Meanwhile, Buasri battled to break into the Top 20 and secured a 20th place finish. Furusato’s performance was impressive and marked his best race of the season so far, while Buasri showed a consistent improvement and this is a further motivation to perform well, next weekend, at Sachsenring!
MOTO3: TAIYO FURUSATO #72
Grid P2– Race P13
I am somewhat disappointed now, as a mistake I made cost us a promising result, ultimately leading to a 13th place finish. We were competitive throughout the race, contending for the win. However, an error on my part with five laps remaining caused us to lose the opportunity for a good result.
It’s sad because the weekend had been excellent up until those final laps. The team performed exceptionally well, and we executed a solid race. Nevertheless, we must acknowledge our mistakes, learn from them, and strive to avoid repeating them. There is no time to rest, as the next race is less than a week away. Our focus now shifts to get ready for Sachsenring.
MOTO3: TATCHAKORN BUASRI #5
Grid 26 Race 20
Today we made significant improvements, and I am pleased with the increased confidence in my riding style and handling of the bike. However, I am a bit disappointed with the race result, as I finished in P20. It’s a shame, as I had hoped to finish within the points zone, but I began to struggle midway through the race.
The second half of the race proved to be more challenging. Nonetheless, it was a good race overall, and we are making incremental progress. I am committed to competing for points and achieving a strong result next week at Sachsenring.

Both riders performed well in the race. Although the result was not the desired one, the race itself was good. Furusato contended fiercely for a podium finish, maintaining second position for a significant portion of the race and fighting for the lead. However, during a particularly challenging segment involving intense competition with other riders, he made a mistake on lap 15, losing his position and dropping to 13th place. Despite this setback, Furusato’s performance was impressive and marked his best race of the season so far.
Meanwhile, Buasri competed robustly within the third group, maintaining his pace consistently until the end. Both riders showcased commendable skills, and we extend our gratitude to our staff, sponsors, and riders. We look forward to continuing our progress in the upcoming race at Sachsenring
