The World Championship of Moto3 has seen plenty of breakout stars emerge in this ring, few of which have garnered the attention of as many as Veda Ega Pratama. The youngster from Indonesia has also wowed racing fans and paddock people with his ‘screaming’ style, sheer consistency and prowess to race against some of the most seasoned young riders in the world of motor racing.
After the Round 11 event in the German Grand Prix at Sachsenring that wrapped-up on July 12, 2026, Moto3 is now on its summer break. With the championship temporarily suspended before the return to Silverstone, it’s not surprising that these are the questions on many people’s minds: Where is Veda now in the title fight and what else is in the future for the young gunsman?
Where Is Veda Pratama Ranked in the Moto3 World Championship?
Veda Ega Pratama is 82 points clear to be in seventh place in the 2026 Moto3 World Championship after 11 races. The #9 Honda is driven by Honda Team Asia, and the 17-year-old rookie has been much more than expected, in his first season.
Veda has proven herself very consistent all year, scoring points in a number of races as well as learning to adapt to new tracks well. His impressive returns have offset this, and he is considered one of the brightest rookie prospects on the grid, and a future contender.
Breakthrough Rookie Season
The Indonesian rider has already picked up two top-three podiums so far with his first full season in Moto3. The highlight of the Brazilian Grand Prix was when he came in third place travelling from a strong bunch of competitors.
Apart from having podiums, Veda has also managed to produce a fastest lap and some decent qualifying times. He underlined his promise further at the German Grand Prix when he was the fastest on Friday before the race during his timesheet and was called on a lot by teams and fans.
His successes have established him as one of the most promising young talents to follow in Moto3’s ranks.
Who Leads the 2026 Moto3 Championship?
To make matters worse, the race to the Championship is still pretty tight at the halfway mark of the season. The current leaders of the CFMOTO Gaviota Aspar Team are Spaniard Maximo Quiles, and Brian Uriarte of Red Bull KTM Ajo, who has been after him in Germany having taken the win.
Veda, who is not yet in the top five, is still close to a couple of riders who are ahead of him. There’s still an opportunity to climb even higher for the rookie for Indonesia with still eleven races to come.
Veda Pratama’s Next Race Schedule
Moto3 riders have a three-week summer break in between and will be back in action in the United Kingdom.
The next challenge for Veda will be at the Qatar Airways Grand Prix of Great Britain which runs at the famed Silverstone Circuit from August 7 to August 9, 2026.
Silverstone will be one of the most challenging and quickest tracks on the Moto3 calendar. It will give another gauge on the growing talent of Veda in his rookie campaign with its high speed corners and long straights.
Remaining Moto3 and MotoGP Season Schedule 2026
The championship continues in an extremely important phase following Silverstone, races taking place throughout Europe, Asia, Australia and the Middle East.
Normal events in the rest of the calendar are all in Aragón (5), San Marino (2), Austria (3), Japan (2), Indonesia (2), Australia (2), Malaysia (2), Qatar (2), Portugal (2) and in the season finale in Valencia. All events will be crucial figures in the overall ranking.
Compared to all the races to be held this coming weekend, one particular race that would be considered the most anticipated race is the Indonesian Grand Prix held at Mandalika from October 9th – 11th which is Veda and his supporters. The chicken-little effect of the home-enthusiastic fans might be a spark of additional motivation for him and may prove to be one of his biggest moments of the season.
Why is the Mandalika Grand Prix So Important?
The spectators or fans who will watch the Mandalika Grand Prix round will be thousands of Indonesian people who want to support the national hero. Grand Prix is finally returning to Veda for the first race of the season.The race will mark Veda’s first at home Moto3 GP since becoming a real contender for the title.
If he performs well at home, it will surely strengthen his winning streak and spell even more success for his career in sports, which is one of the brightest in Indonesia. October’s sky will be filled with local fans taking to the grandstands and enjoying an electric atmosphere.

Can Veda Finish in the Top Five?
Having already scored 82 points, and with several future pots on his shoulders, Veda is well on his way to top five standings. His ability to pick it up the quickest shows a hunkered-down highly probable attitude which means there’s still further development to come in the second half of the season.
The Indonesian rookie has the potential to go along the generations and rise up the rankings, as he can do well in the qualifying sessions and translate that effort into a race-day win, if he continues his form and is able to beat some of the sport’s up-and-coming young guns.
