Jakarta – Indonesian racer Kiandra Ramadhipa, just 16 years ancient, is confirmed to participate in the 2026 FIM Moto3 Junior World Championship, beginning on May 24th. The announcement, reported Wednesday, March 26th, lists Kiandra among the provisional entries for the competition.

Competing with the Honda Asia-Dream Racing Junior team, Kiandra will be one of 29 riders vying for the championship title. He represents Indonesia’s sole entry in the series, with Asia fielding a total of five competitors: Yaroslav Karpushin (Kyrgyzstan), Seiryu Ikegami (Japan), Ryota Ogiwara (Japan), and Kiattisak Singhapong (Thailand).

The FIM Moto3 Junior World Championship serves as a crucial stepping stone for aspiring riders aiming to reach the Moto3 World Championship, which is part of the MotoGP ecosystem. This presents a significant challenge for Kiandra as he follows in the footsteps of compatriot Veda Ega Pratama, who will be competing in Moto3 starting in 2026.

A Rising Star in Indonesian Motorsport

Kiandra Ramadhipa is quickly establishing himself as one of Indonesia’s most promising young motorcycle racers. Hailing from Sleman, in the Special Region of Yogyakarta, he has already accumulated a notable list of international achievements.

He also achieved an impressive eighth-place finish in the Red Bull Rookies Cup, earning a podium finish with a second-place result. Notably, fellow Indonesian rider Veda Pratama finished second overall in the 2025 Red Bull Rookies Cup.

Kiandra’s progression through the ranks highlights his dedication and talent. He was a graduate of the Asia Talent Cup, competing in the Thailand Talent Cup in 2023 where he secured multiple podiums, including a race win, finishing third in the final standings.
