This result brought his championship total to 105 points, matching his rival Hakim Danish. Moving to the Pertamina Grand Prix of Indonesia at the Mandalika International Circuit, Pratama secured advancement to the second qualifying session (Q2). During the practice sessions, he secured a 12th-place finish after a dramatic final few minutes, ensuring his progression to the next stage of qualifying.

At the Australian Grand Prix at Phillip Island Circuit, Pratama finished seventh in the Free Practice 1 (FP1) session for Honda Team Asia, recording a best time of 1 minute 36.525 seconds. Following a decision by the FIM Court of Appeal to reinstate points for Leopard Racing rider Adrian Fernandez, Pratama’s championship standing shifted from seventh to eighth place, with his total points adjusted from 115 to 111. During the qualifying session at Phillip Island on October 24, 2026, Pratama achieved a historic milestone by securing his first Moto3 pole position.

He surpassed championship leader Máximo Quiles by 0.021 seconds to take the top spot, marking the first Moto3 pole position for both Pratama and Indonesia.
