“It all started when I was 6 years old. I love racing because I used to often watch my father practice and race. My father was racing in Super Sport 600 in our National Championship.”
“All of my family supported my career, especially my father. My father gave me a Mini GP when I was 5 years old, and started to introduce me to the world of racing."
"I started my first race when I was 6 years old. My father is an Entrepreneur and my mother looks after our family and they always provide good support and accompany me."
“My hero is Casey Stoner and I want to be the first Indonesian MotoGP rider and become a world champion. When I am not riding a motorcycle I like fishing and cycling, at school I enjoy sport.”
2019 – Champion of the National Cub/Underbone Race Championship
"In 2024 I want to be a winner in the Red Bull Rookies Cup. It is very important to me when I see other people happy and proud to see me win and bring Indonesia's name to the International championship level.”
2022 – IATC Sepang, Malaysia, 2nd place - Veda Pratama
“My greatest achievement so far is the Asia Talent Cup 2023 because I was the first Indonesian champion in the Cup. I will remember this first success. My best race was Round 5 in the Cup in Malaysia because I could lock up the championship title.”
“For me, it is important to remember that the struggle you do today is the single way to build a better future. You have to be optimistic about yourself.”
“2024 was my first time and first experience in Europe. I learnt from the riders in Europe how they fight in the race, how they ride, also I learnt all the circuits because it was the first time for me. The KTM was new because in 2023 I used the Honda NSF250R. So I needed to adapt in the beginning. I also learnt from Dani how to ride the bike. Dani always helped me when on the track, also off track.”
“I have 2 best races from 2024. The first is in Austria, Race 2. In the beginning the track was a little bit slippery and the top group got a little bit of gap from me. But lap by lap I could cut the gap and try to catch the top group. Also the battle on the last lap, especially the last corner was great, I passed Valentine and finally, I made my first podium in Rookies Cup.”
Leading the best young riders in the world in Austria - Veda Pratama
“The second great was the last race of the season in Misano. I felt very good and confident and had so many battles in the race. So even though I didn't get on the podium I was battling with the top riders in Rookies Cup and I really enjoyed the race.”
Ending the 2024 season with a fantastic battle in Misano - Veda Pratama
“The best things that happened in 2024 were getting the news that I will race again in Europe, a second year of Rookies Cup, the podium in Austria and the fact that I could train together with MotoGP riders on flat track.”
“The worst time of the year was in Jerez Race 1 when I crashed twice.”
Third in Austria with Hiroshi Aoyama and my Mechanic Helper Guillermo
“A lot of the funniest times I had was with all my friends, also my Mechanic Helper Guillermo (Sanchis Balaguer) especially when staying in Tarragona, Spain.
