Astra Honda Racing Team racer M. Adenanta Putra is carrying high confidence ahead of the second round of the 2026 Asia Road Racing Championship (ARRC) at the Chang International Circuit, Buriram, Thailand, May 8–10, after achieving a podium finish at the Malaysia Superbike Championship last weekend.
Adenanta, competing in the Asia Superbike (ASB) 1000 class for the first time this season, has begun to show positive progress with the CBR1000RR-R. At the opening ARRC series in Sepang, Malaysia, on April 11-12, the Magetan rider consistently finished seventh in both races and currently sits sixth in the standings with 18 points.
"Going into the second round in Buriram, I feel more confident than I did in the first round. I'm getting a better understanding of the CBR1000RR-R. I hope to achieve even better results in this second round than before," Adenanta said in an official AHRT statement in Jakarta on Friday.
Apart from Adenanta, AHRT is also aiming for maximum results in the Supersport (SS) 600 class through Herjun Atna Firdaus and Fadillah Arbi Aditama.
