Veda Ega takes fourth in Qatar Moto3 after late fightback
The result equalled his French round finish, with only his podium places in Brazil and Malaysia ranking higher this season.
Veda Ega Pratama secured fourth at the 2026 Qatar Moto3 round, recovering a position lost to Hakim Danish before passing Alvaro Carpe and Joel Kelso during the final lap.
From 14th on the grid, Veda Ega reached 11th at the start and continued advancing through the field. He occupied sixth with two laps remaining, trailing Kelso and Carpe while Danish followed directly behind.
Danish moved ahead of Veda Ega at the beginning of the last lap and pursued Carpe and Kelso. His subsequent mistake took him wide, giving sixth back to Veda Ega, who then closed the gap to the pair ahead.
Veda Ega passed Carpe and Kelso in succession with little resistance and stayed fourth through the finish. Carpe also got ahead of Kelso late on to claim fifth, while Danish finished seventh.
Fourth matched Veda Ega’s result in France. His stronger finishes this season were third in Brazil and second in Malaysia.
