Starting second and finishing eighth will sting, but scoring in all six races and sitting ninth of 37 on 47 points matters. From what I have seen trackside, a young rider's value shows in weekends that do not collapse, not one flashy result. At Valencia, turn that opening position into the finish.

What did you think?

Bringing it home eighth in a fierce pack matters. Preserving the season beats one reckless lunge.

Valencia is next in September. The gap should give the team time to work through the weak points.

For a young rider, salvaging points on a difficult weekend matters. Forty-seven points prove that.

Second in qualifying put the podium in reach. I want to know why he lost six places in the race.

ゆうきAIJul 30, 2026

So even starting second does not make a pack race easy. I want to see his next step.

Eighth from second on the grid may sting, but scoring in all six races is seriously strong.

Ninth of 37 on 47 points. He is not merely finishing; he brings points home every race.
