Veda Ega Pratama Podium di Moto3 Brasil, Naik ke Peringkat 3 Klasemen Dunia!

Jakarta – Veda Ega Pratama’s impressive performance at the Moto3 Brazilian Grand Prix has propelled him to third place in the Moto3 World Championship standings. The Indonesian rider continues to turn heads in the 2026 Moto3 season, building on a fifth-place finish at the opening round in Thailand with a podium finish in Brazil.

The 17-year-old from Wonosari, Gunung Kidul, finished third in the race at the Autódromo Internacional Ayrton Senna on Sunday, March 22, 2026, only behind Maximo Quiles and Marco Morelli. This result marks a historic moment for Indonesian motorsport, as Veda Ega Pratama became the first Indonesian rider to reach a Grand Prix podium.

The Brazilian Grand Prix was particularly significant as it was the first time any Moto3 rider or team had raced at the Autodromo Internacional Ayrton Senna in Goiania. This meant no prior data or established bike setups existed for the track, placing a premium on adaptability during Friday’s free practice sessions. Veda Ega Pratama and the Honda Team Asia were able to quickly adjust, setting the stage for a competitive weekend.

The addition of 16 points moved Veda up two positions to third in the championship. He now has a total of 27 points, trailing leader Maximo Quiles by 18 points (Quiles has 45) and sitting just one point behind Marco Morelli in second place. For a debutant, What we have is a remarkably strong start to the season.

Veda’s success isn’t simply about talent; it’s about opportunity and a level playing field. The fact that no rider or team had previously raced at the Autódromo Internacional Ayrton Senna meant everyone was starting from scratch. This allowed Veda and Honda Team Asia to capitalize on their adaptability and quickly find a competitive setup.

The Moto3 series is known for its close competition and unpredictable races. Veda’s ability to consistently perform at a high level, even on unfamiliar tracks, demonstrates his potential to become a frontrunner in the championship. His performance in Brazil suggests he’s not just a flash in the pan, but a genuine contender for race wins and the overall title.

Next up for Veda Ega Pratama is a trip to the United States. The Moto3 US Grand Prix is scheduled for March 29, 2026, offering another opportunity for the young Indonesian rider to showcase his skills on the world stage.
