The 2026 Moto3 season is entering a critical phase. Veda Pratama of Honda Team Asia still sits seventh in the standings, but he has lost contact with the leaders. With 97 points, he trails championship leader Maximo Quiles by 159 points. However, Veda's performances in the last three races (8th, 9th, 20th) show a worrying downward trend.
At the start of the season, Veda looked promising with two podiums and consistency that put him briefly in the top five. But since mid-season, he has failed to finish inside the top ten on several occasions. Is this just a dip in form, or are there technical issues with his Honda? The Asian-based team must quickly regroup if they want to secure their position in the final standings.
The fight at the top is indeed fierce. Alvaro Carpe of Red Bull KTM Ajo continues to shadow Quiles with a 97-point gap, while David Almansa from Intact GP shows remarkable consistency. Veda must be able to compete with them every weekend to climb higher.

The last two races of the season will be decisive. If Veda and his team can rediscover their racing rhythm, it is not impossible for him to fight for podiums again and improve his position. However, if this negative trend continues, his goal of finishing in the top five could slip away.
All eyes are now on how Veda Pratama bounces back from this slump. Will he show champion mentality and fight at the front again? We'll see his action in the final two rounds of Moto3 2026.
