Kiattisak Ready to Continue Podium Hunt at Red Bull MotoGP Rookies Cup 2026, Le Mans Round 2

Kiattisak Singhapong is ready to continue his podium quest at the Red Bull MotoGP Rookies Cup 2026, Le Mans Round 2.


The Red Bull MotoGP Rookies Cup 2026, Round 2 at Le Mans will take place at Circuit de la Sarthe, France, from 8 to 10 May, featuring "Mai Kiu".

Kiattisak Singhapong, number 85, a rising star from Honda Racing Thailand, is ready to chase another podium after securing the 7th grid position on 8 May.

The Red Bull MotoGP Rookies Cup focuses on rider skill and ability since all competitors race on identical-spec bikes. Recently, "Mai Kiu" Kiattisak Singhapong made a strong impression by finishing on the podium in 3rd place in Race 1 of the season opener at Jerez, Spain.

Previously, Kiattisak Singhapong had a remarkable performance at the Le Mans round of the Red Bull MotoGP Rookies Cup, recovering from a DNF in Race 1 to finish 4th in Race 2, nearly reaching the podium last season. This circuit is particularly challenging due to its tight corners and reliance on low gears, emphasizing late braking and rapid acceleration out of turns. Rear tire grip also plays a crucial role in winning here.

Most recently, "Mai Kiu" Kiattisak Singhapong improved steadily through practice and qualifying sessions. On 8 May 2026, he ranked 13th in FP1, then moved up to 8th in FP2. During qualifying, he earned the 7th starting grid, positioning himself well for another strong performance on the world stage.

The race schedule features Race 1 on Saturday, 9 May at 21:05 and Race 2 on Sunday, 10 May at 13:35.
