After a 5-month long break, the PETRONAS Malaysian Cub Prix Championship finally gets in gear with Round 3 and 4 to be held at the Sepang North Track this weekend.
For the majority of teams and riders, this is akin to a new start with everyone still in the running for the title chase. In the CP150 class, team PETRONAS Sprinta Yamaha Maju Motor’s Nazirul Izzat Bahauddin leads the premiere class by a single point ahead of Muzakkir Mohamed from the ONEXOX TKKR Racing Team.
SCK Honda Racing Team’s rookie, Izam Ikmal, has proven to be the darkhorse of the season to date. Izam’s strong and consistent track record at the Sepang Circuit sees him third on the standings.
Meanwhile, Mohd Adib Rosley from Ipone Yamaha YY Pang Racing Team double podium from earlier in the year has him in the lead for the CP125 title chase. However, Adib will need to stay on his toes with eight more races to be held before season 2021 is done and dusted. Adib’s closest competitors so far include Syafiq Rosli (PETRONAS Sprinta Yamaha Maju Motor), Adib’s own team mate Fareez Afeez Abd Rahman, Ahmad Syukran Aizat Mohd Yusoff (PETRONAS Sprinta Yamaha-CKJ Racing), and Hafiza Rofa (ONEXOX TKKR RACING Team).
Finally, team PETRONAS Sprinta Yamaha-31 Racing is sitting pretty at the top of the Wira KBS leaderboard. The team’s riders – Mohd Aqil Danial Nasrul, Mohd Syamil Amsyar Mohd Iffende and Danial Johan – have dominated the first two rounds of the season.
