KUALA LUMPUR: Hakim Danish Ramli made up ground in Friday's Moto3 practice at the Australian Motorcycle Grand Prix, but the Malaysian youngster remains some way off the pace ahead of Sunday's race.
The 19-year-old AEON Credit-MT Helmets-MSI rider clocked 1:37.774 in the afternoon session at Phillip Island, improving by 0.847 seconds from his morning time of 1:38.621.
However, the gain lifted him only to 25th in the combined standings, 2.482 seconds behind session leader Alvaro Carpe, who posted 1:35.292.
Hakim Danish also crashed during the afternoon session, making for a difficult opening day as he seeks to rediscover the form that brought him a third-place finish at Mugello and his maiden Grand Prix victory at Brno in June.
