Hakim Danish keeps hopes up after narrowly missing podium finish

Hakim Danish Ramli expressed satisfaction with today's Malaysian Motorcycle Grand Prix race, stating he gave his all until the final corner. He attempted a pass but veered slightly wide. The Terengganu-born rider, who secured podium finishes in Italy and the Czech Republic earlier this year, narrowly missed a podium spot, finishing fourth.

Spain's Alvaro Carpe won the race, followed by Indonesia's Veda Pratama and Carpe. Despite his near-miss, Danish remains optimistic, aiming to finish on the podium or secure another victory in the remaining three races. He attributes his performance to the challenging nature of the Sepang circuit, particularly through high-speed corners, and notes that Honda machinery's advantage posed a challenge.

Team manager Zulfahmi Khairuddin praised Danish's impressive performance, noting his emotional control and consistent competitiveness throughout the week.
