Aldi Datya Mahendra, Team BrCorse:

“I feel really happy. This has been my dream since I was a child. When I saw my brother race in SuperSport 300 and 600, I thought, ‘I want to be like him,’ and now I’m a world champion. It’s incredible for me, my family, and everyone. I’m also the first-ever Indonesian champion, and that feels amazing! I can’t wait for next year as I’ll move up to WorldSSP with Yamaha!”
