ABDURRAQIB SNATCHED VICTORY
Round 2 of the 2025 AEON CREDIT MAM MALAYSIA SUPERBIKE CHAMPIONSHIP took place at the PETRONAS Sepang International Circuit. Raja Abdurraqib Raja Mohd Norfatihah of XYH RACING PROJECT emerged victorious in Race 2 of the YAMAHA Y16ZR Race MasterClass category.
At the start, Mohd Akid Mohd Shah Khearul Nisiam of LKT RACING led the charge, but the lead group was tightly packed. Mohd Arrfan Ashraf Mohd Mazlan of TAKONG RACING crashed at Turn 1 in the early battle. Meanwhile, Muhd Al Syafiq Muhd Al Amirul Zaki of SCM FACTORY RACING TEAM and Ahmad Jebat Zulkarnain of PS RACING TEAM broke away but were reeled in by the chasing pack.
Positions kept changing throughout the race, with Akid, Jebat, and Muhd Fareeq Mohd Faizal of P D BAN HIN RACING staying consistent in the lead group. By mid-race, it was still anyone’s victory to take.
On lap 5, Danish Rifqi Yusnizam of KSENG MOTOR crashed at the final turn but managed to continue, losing his podium hopes.
On the last lap, Abdurraqib broke away from the slipstream battle and crossed the line to win in 17’43.982s. Akid finished a close second just 0.031s behind at 17’44.013s, with Jebat third at 17’45.293s.
Abdurraqib said, “In today’s race, I tried to maintain my position from the start. On the last lap, I made my move to break away and kept my momentum all the way to the finish line. I knew Akid was chasing me down, but I stayed consistent and Alhamdulillah, I won this race.”
