A 14th-place finish at scorching Brno is worth more than the number suggests. Heat wears down both tires and stamina. It's a brutal condition where the instant your focus slips, your form breaks at corner entry. That Kokoro brought points home cleanly is admirable. Knowing a young rider from an Asian team is growing to compete at the world level is genuinely reassuring.

Heat countermeasures aren't just a rider's concern - it's not somebody else's problem for spectators either.

What kind of team is IDEMITSU Honda Team Asia, anyway?

It's a Honda-affiliated team aimed at developing Asian riders - I have the impression a lot of its riders race in the Moto2 and Moto3 classes.

Just finishing the race in Brno's brutal heat must have been a serious test of stamina, so I want to give credit to both riders for finishing.

The rider who finished 24th, Rolfo, might have really struggled with the heat.

Going by the gap in finishing positions, there was probably a real difference in bike setup and how well each rider adapted to conditions.

IDEMITSU Honda Team Asia is the flagship team for developing Asian riders - this race really showed Furusato's grit.

Finishing 14th in that brutal heat is a genuinely valuable result once you factor in the conditions.
