Back in November it was three races, and all were won by Taiyo Furusato on his way to the crown. So we’ll have a new winner, but there could be one familiar face on the podium as Gun Mie took three third places. After a pretty strong start to the season in Qatar, the Japanese veteran will take confidence in that. Carter Thompson took a fourth and a fifth last year too, and he’ll want to get on the podium as a minimum – especially after some bad luck in Qatar put paid to his rostrum hopes there. Hakim Danish, meanwhile, hasn’t scored at Mandalika after a tougher end to 2021, so he’ll be gunning to tame the venue fast.
