"Finally, I can confirm that I will move up to the Moto2 class next season," he said on Friday (12/10) before the 2023 Indonesian MotoGP. "I want to finish the 2023 racing season well and start training even harder next winter." added the man from Magetan, East Java. He himself admits that moving up to the Moto2 class will not be easy, it could even be more difficult than in Moto3 this year. However, he is determined to do his best to be competitive in the Moto2 class next year.

"I also want to thank Honda Team Asia and Astra Honda for giving me this golden opportunity, as well as those who have supported me all this time," said Mario. "I can learn quickly, and this is my target, namely to learn and adapt quickly in the Moto2 class," he concluded. It is hoped that Mario Aji's relatively large posture will help him appear competitive in the Moto2 class next year.

In Moto2 2024, Mario Aji will use the starting number 34 from the previous 64 he is currently using. Even though 64 is a special number for Mario, this starting number has been used by Bo Bendsneyder (Pertamina Mandalika SAG) in the Moto2 class.
