Moto3 riders Carpe and Uriarte prepare for Malaysian Grand Prix

Red Bull KTM Ajo Moto3 riders Álvaro Carpe and Brian Uriarte are set to compete in the Malaysian Grand Prix at the Sepang International Circuit this weekend. The event follows the cancellation of the Australian Grand Prix due to adverse weather conditions, which prevented both riders from scoring points.

Uriarte currently sits third in the Moto3 World Championship with 198 points. He enters the weekend with a significant 87-point lead in the Rookie of the Year standings, meaning he could mathematically secure the title in Malaysia. Carpe holds fourth place in the overall standings with 189 points, trailing the runner-up position.

Both riders expressed motivation for the upcoming race. Carpe noted the length and challenge of the Sepang circuit, while Uriarte highlighted his previous positive experiences at the track and his desire to secure the Rookie of the Year honor.
