JEBAT SEIZED THE PODIUM
The Race 1 of Round 4 in the 2025 AEON CREDIT MAM MALAYSIA SUPERBIKE CHAMPIONSHIP, YAMAHA Y16ZR Race MasterClass category at the PETRONAS Sepang International Circuit saw Ahmad Jebat Zulkarnain of BEN HUAT RACING emerged victorious.
At the start, Raja Abdurraqib Raja Mohd Norfatihah of SCM FACTORY RACING TEAM made a strong launch to take the early lead, closely pursued by Jebat and Muhd Ali Imran Mohd Dzul Hijri of T.K.WONG RACING in third. By Lap 2, Jebat maintained pressure while Muhd Afiq Syazanie Muhd Zaini of LKT RACING and Muhd Aliff Mohd Hafis of E ONE CHONG MOTOR attempted to challenge the front runners.
The next few laps saw intense back-and-forth battles at the front. Aliff briefly took the lead in Lap 3, but Raja reclaimed it immediately, with the pack tightly grouped and no rider able to break away. Lap 4 saw Afiq and Jebat pushing forward, with Shazrel Aqief Hakimy Bin Sazal of TAKONG RACING and Raja close behind. By Lap 5, Ali, Raja, and Aqief rotated positions in a fierce contest.
On the final lap, Raja led early, but Jebat set the fastest lap time of 2’53.949s to move into second. Ali made a daring overtake to claim the lead, but it was ultimately Jebat who crossed the finish line first in 17’38.843s. Ahmad Harith Ikhwan Ahmad Mulana of ALL BIKES secured second place at 17’38.909s, with Raja completing the podium in third at 17’38.917s.
Jebat said, “For this race, I trained absolutely all out, especially since I was up against riders with smaller physiques. I also paid close attention to my diet, and in the end, Alhamdulillah, all the hard work paid off. It was Allah’s will. Alhamdulillah, Dad, I finished in first place!”
