After the Asian events, the MotoGP circus came back to Europe for the grand finale of the 2024 World Championship. The 20th round of the season took place in Barcelona for the Solidarity GP, due to the cancellation of the Valencian GP, following the tragic flooding which affected all the community.
Moto3 Honda Team Asia riders, Taiyo Furusato and Tatchakorn Buasri, returning from good performances in Malaysia, arrived in Spain well motivated.
On the first day, cold temperatures made conditions challenging for both riders who had difficulties in finding the right rhythm. Furusato had a good session in the morning, finishing in P13, but struggled to maintain his pace in the afternoon, ending the day in P21. Meanwhile, Buasri concluded the day in P27.
On the qualifying day, Taiyo had a solid performance, progressing through Q1 into Q2 and securing a commendable 8th position with a time of 1’46.780. His teammate, Tatchakorn Buasri, also showed some improvement, but traffic and incidents with other riders stopped his ability to fully capitalize on his efforts, finishing 26th.
The race was intense: Taiyo Furusato had a strong performance, competing in the leading group throughout the race and ultimately finishing in 7th place after a fierce battle among the top ten riders.
Tatchakorn Buasri gave his maximum effort, struggling to match the pace for points contention and ultimately finishing 24th.
The season 2024 is officially over and MIVV is proud to have supported the Honda Team Asia project for the 4th consecutive year.
MOTO3: TAIYO FURUSATO #72
Grid 8-Race 7
It was an intense race today, and I’m happy with the performance overall. I stayed with the leading group the entire time and pushed to my maximum to fight for the podium. Unfortunately, I didn’t have the chance to make it into the top three, but 7th place is still a good result to close the season as I did all my best.
I want to thank my team for their incredible support throughout the year. It’s been a challenging season, but we’ve learned a lot and grown stronger. I’m already looking forward to what’s next in 2025.
MOTO3: TATCHAKORN BUASRI #5
Grid 26- Race 24
Today’s race was tough, and I couldn’t find the pace to challenge for points. I didn’t feel comfortable during the whole weekend in this weather conditions and I want to say sorry as I didn’t bring the desired result, I gave my best effort, but it just wasn’t enough. Looking back at the season, I’ve had my ups and downs, but I’m grateful for the experience and the hard work of my team. I’ll use this year’s challenges as motivation to come back stronger and more prepared next season.
