Valencia: Malaysia’s talented young rider Muhammad Hakim Danish finished 14th in the Moto3 race at the Valencia Grand Prix (GP) at Circuit Ricardo Tormo, Spain, today. The 18-year-old, racing for the FRINSA MT Helmets MSi team as a replacement for injured Japanese rider Ryusei Yamanaka, worked hard to put up a strong fight and secure two points after starting the race from 18th on the grid.

According to BERNAMA News Agency, the race saw Leopard Racing rider Adrian Fenandez emerge champion with a time of 32 minutes 48.909 seconds. He was followed by Red Bull KTM’s Ajo Alvaro Carpe, who finished in second place with a time difference of 0.286 seconds, and Honda Team Asia rider Taiyo Furusato, who came in third, trailing by 0.109 seconds.

The Valencia GP marked the final Moto3 race of the season. Hakim Danish had earlier been announced as a full-season rider in the Moto3 class at next year’s MotoGP World Championship with the same team.
