Moto3 and MotoGP racing highlights at Sepang Circuit

In the Moto3 Malaysia 2026 race at the Sepang Circuit, Maximo Quiles secured victory. Red Bull KTM Ajo rider Alvaro Carpe finished in third place after a intense battle for the runner-up position involving Veda Ega Pratama, Hakim Danish, and David Almansa. Carpe noted that while he felt he had the potential to challenge Quiles, fierce competition from other riders and high temperatures made the race difficult.

In the MotoGP class, Aprilia Racing identified technical challenges with the RS-GP machine at the Sepang International Circuit. Antonio Boselli, Piaggio Group's Head of Motorsport Communications, stated that the bike struggles to achieve optimum acceleration when exiting low-speed corners following heavy braking, particularly in the final sector of the track. Despite these specific weaknesses at Sepang, Boselli emphasized that the RS-GP26 remains one of the most competitive machines in the 2026 championship.
