Doni Tata Pradita scored his first Moto2 World Championship point today in a memorable race at Phillip Island. After a difficult start to a race that was reduced to 13 laps because of tyre problems during practice Doni fought hard to make up positions and pick up fifteenth place: 'mission accomplished' for the Indonesian rider and for Federal Oil, who have sponsored him during his rookie season.
