Hakim Danish keeps hopes up after narrowly missing podium finish
A strong race by the national MotoGP rider put him in line for a third-place spot until the final corner, when he was overtaken.
Hakim Danish Ramli expressed satisfaction with today's race at the Malaysian Motorcycle Grand Prix, stating that he gave it his all until the final corner. He attempted a pass but ran wide. Despite narrowly missing out on a podium finish, the Terengganu-born rider remains determined to secure a top-three position this season. Hakim had previously secured podium finishes at the Italian GP and Czech Republic GP.
In the race, Hakim finished fourth, 3.734 seconds behind reigning world champion Maximo Quiles and 4.184 seconds behind Spain's Alvaro Carpe. The 19-year-old, who rides for the AEON Credit-MT Helmets-MSI team, attributed his challenge to the Honda machinery's advantage at the circuit, especially on high-speed corners. Despite the disappointment, Hakim remains optimistic, believing that it's not impossible to finish on the podium or secure another victory in the remaining races of the season.
