Taiyo Fusurato made a triumphant debut in the Red Bull MotoGP™ Rookies Cup 2021 by winning the first race at Mugello and finishing 11th overall. At the same time, he managed to maintain his high level and commitment to the Idemitsu Asia Talent Cup, where he did not let a single race slip through his fingers and was crowned champion in Mandalika. As a result, Honda Team Asia offered him the chance to compete in the 2022 Moto3™ World Championship. The second season proved much more successful, with Taiyo Furusato accumulating 63 points, including a second-place finish in Thailand. Could he emerge as one of the 'outsiders' for 2024?
