The sun finally showed up at the Mobility Resort Motegi on Sunday for the first race day in Japan in three – long – years. Despite the wet conditions, Deniz Oncu and Adrian Fernandez managed to get correct grid positions, with the Turkish rider starting from eighth today, and his Spaniard teammate from fourteenth. Everything seemed set for a good day.

There is no doubt that the Red Bull KTM Tech3 crew will remember their first qualifying day at the Mobility Resort Motegi. Indeed, rain invited itself to the party on Saturday leaving the track completely wet for the second and final free practice which was followed by the qualifying sessions in the afternoon.

Created in 2020, Red Bull KTM Tech3 travelled to Motegi for the first time this week for the Grand Prix of Japan, the second leg of the ongoing triple-header Aragon-Japan-Thailand. Deniz Oncu and Adrian Fernandez both made it to the Top 5 at the last round, and were hoping to keep the good results going.
