65061 is a private ASN;  ie.  intended for internal/lab use, and not for 
use on the general internet.  ideally, there should be no routes on the 
global internet, that’s sourced by a private ASN.  (sort of similar to 
how there should not be routes for private address space, on the global 
internet, either.)

because there should *not* be routes, that are originated by a private 
ASN on the public internet, you shouldn’t be using a private ASN, to 
register a routing policy in a *public* database, like RIPEdb.  (sort of 
similar to how you should not expect to get back a valid route object 
for any private address space, from the RIPE-db, either.)

try your tests instead, with a RIR assigned ASN.
