Hakim Danish will move up to the Moto3 World Championship in 2026 with the MSi Racing Team

The MSi Racing Team finalizes its lineup for the 2026 season with the addition of Hakim Danish in the Moto3 category.

The Malaysian rider, who will become Ryusei Yamanaka’s teammate, will take the next step up the “ladder” within the Spanish structure on his path toward MotoGP.

Danish, currently ninth in the provisional standings of the FIM JuniorGP with two rounds remaining in the 2025 calendar, will conclude his European campaign at the end of November. In addition, Hakim has claimed the bronze medal in this year’s Red Bull Rookies Cup.
