Hakim Danish set for Magny-Cours challenge
Malaysia's young rider, Hakim Danish, who has been based in Barcelona, Spain since May 2025, has been undergoing intensive preparations not only for the FIM JuniorGP but also for the Red Bull MotoGP Rookies Cup. During this period, Danish also spent time training with Qabil Irfan, who was in Barcelona for Rounds 2 and 3 of the Espana Superbike Championship (ESBK), and later travelled to Motorland Aragon to show his support during Qabil's recent race in ESBK Round 3. Danish currently sits fourth overall in the standings with 38 points, trailing by 37 points behind the championship leader, Brian Uriarte — a Spanish rider who is also Danish's main rival in the 2025 Red Bull MotoGP Rookies Cup. Two weeks ago, ahead of the Red Bull MotoGP Rookies Cup round in Mugello, Danish and his team carried out a private test at Magny-Cours to gather valuable data in preparation for this week's challenge. 'This week is race week for Round 3. Two weeks ago, I had the chance to test at this new circuit. I find the track quite technical, and I still need to improve my riding and find a better setup. I'm hoping everything goes smoothly this week.' said Danish

Aabil Irfan ready to battle rivals at Aragon Circuit
QABIL IRFAN continues his back-to-back campaign in the Espana Superbike Championship (ESBK), which now moves into Round 3 at the Motorland Aragon Circuit in Spain. The track features 7 right-hand corners, 10 left-hand corners and a 968-metre straight , promising a challenging weekend ahead for Qabil. The intense summer heat in Spain is no obstacle for Qabil, who delivered an impressive performance in the previous round, finishing Race 1 in second place and going on to win Race 2. Both races were held under hot and dry conditions, with temperatures soaring to 45 degrees Celsius. 'I'm really looking forward to getting the race weekend started. I expect the competition to be just as intense as in Round 2, but I'm feeling more confident this time. Two weeks ago, my team and I did a private test at this circuit, and I personally find the track quite exciting. My target is to maintain my position as the overall leader this weekend', said Qabil. To maintain peak preparation, Qabil has remained in Spain and continued intensive training in Tarragona with fellow rider Hakim Danish. The sessions have been closely supervised by experienced coaches from Rider Formation.
