12-year-old motorcycle racing fan Shaina S🍌alvia interviews fellow Indonesian Galang Hendra Pratama, who took his first World Supersport 300 race win of the year - leading every lap from pole position ♑on his Yamaha R3 - at Brno…

Shaina Salvia A. S.:

Congratulations on your win! What was it that made you🧸 so fast in that race?

Galang Hendra:

I don't know, maybe I'm lucky today! But from the start I tried to push hard in the first and second laps and I made ﷺa big three-second gap to the other riders. So finally, I can get this first position!

I also want to🅠 say hello and thank-you to all my Indonesian fans.

Shaina Salvia A. S.:

D🅷id the change in regulations help your bike? (New combined rider and bike minimum weight of 205kg for Yamaha, 208kg for KTM, 215kg for Honda and Kawasaki)

Galang Hendra:

I think 🍌it was not so different in the end, the regulations. Because yes Carrasco is 8kg more but some of the other riders are now 8k♉g less, for example.

🌺For me, as a rider, the most importꦰant thing now is to keep focused, never give up and try to learn all the tracks.

Shaina Salvia A. S.:

What do you expect for the next race?

Galang Hendra:

For Misano ൲I will try to keep focus and do my best because Misano is my favourite track, there are many slow corners and maybe it will be a good track for Yamaha.

Shaina Salvia A. S.:

What is your target for this season?

Galang Hendra:

My first target was the world championship, but afteꦐr we saw the unfair regulations at the start of the season it was difficult for Yamaha. Now I hope to stay on the podium at every round.

Shaina Salvia A. S.:

Do you have any plans for the holidays?

Galang Hendra:

When I return to Indonesia, I want to ea✃t Gudeg! (Special food from Yogyakarta). Because I'm from Yogyakarta, so I miss Gudeg a lot. Sometimes I look for Gudeg [in Europe] but they❀ don't have it!
