Hakim Danish Sets Moto3 Record at Czech Grand Prix

Malaysian rider Hakim Danish Ramli shattered the Moto3 free‑practice benchmark at the 2026 Czech Grand Prix in Brno, posting a 2:04.938 lap. The time broke the previous circuit record of 2:05.019 set by Guido Pini and marked the first sub‑2:05 lap in Moto3 history at Automotodrom Brno. Danish, riding for AEON Credit‑MT Helmets‑MSi KTM, finished more than three‑tenths of a second ahead of Spain’s David Almansa, who recorded 2:05.246, and ahead of Alvaro Carpe in third. The performance was hailed as a statement of intent for the weekend, prompting reactions from rivals and raising expectations for qualifying and the race. The record was achieved while the field was coping with the absence of David Muñoz, sidelined by injury, and highlighted the competitive depth of the 2026 Moto3 season.
