Doni Tata Pradita heads to Austin, Texas this weekend looking to build on the progress he made in the opening round of the Moto2 World Championship in Qatar. After battling through arm pump to finish the race at Losail the Indonesian rookie is hoping for a smooth transition to the Circuit of the Americas, which is unknown to every rider on the grid. Doni's feeling with the bike is good and the atmosphere amongst the team is excellent so positive results are sure to follow.
Doni Tata Pradita
“The next round in Austin is really exciting! It is completely new to everybody so everybody has to start from zero with the set-up of the bike. We will try to find ours as soon as possible so that I can focus on my riding. I will take a walk around the track with my chief mechanic and try to work out the right line. I have been training hard in Italy with my team-mate Feem and I am ready to race again in Austin. I have also been having some physiotherapy to try and strengthen my arm, which gave me problems in Qatar. The objective is to get into the points as soon as possible and hopefully it can be this weekend in America. I am determined to give my Indonesian fans something to cheer about."

“The effort that Doni Tata Pradita is putting in to becoming competitive in this class as soon as possible is impressive and important. He is growing every time and adapting well to a new category for him and I think this determination will take him to the points sooner rather than later. He has a good rapport with his team and they are working together in a methodical manner to find a good set-up for his bike.”
