ADIE’S FRACTURED DREAM

ADIE’S FRACTURED DREAM

It’s a moment that no athlete ever expects to face. In an instant, the excitement of the race turned to dread. For Muhd Adie Putra Sukarno, that moment arrived during Free Practice 2 at the PETRONAS Sepang International Circuit. What began as a promising day for the young rider quickly turned into a nightmare that would change everything.

Adie entered the MAM Malaysian Superbike Championship full of hope, competing in two categories: the Berjaya Sompo YAMAHA Y16ZR Race MasterClass and the YAMAHA R15M Race Elites. He had just set the fastest lap time in the Free Practice 2 of YAMAHA Y16ZR Race MasterClass, his dreams soaring with every turn. But fate had a cruel twist in store.

Later, during the Free Practice 2 for the YAMAHA R15M Race Elites, disaster struck. A sudden crash resulted in a broken femur, leaving Adie’s aspirations shattered and his spirit in turmoil. The dreams he had fought for now seemed distant, overshadowed by pain and uncertainty.

Reflecting on that fateful moment, Adie shared, “In the last five minutes, I fell at Turn 14 at maximum speed. Suddenly, Arash Tsunami Kamarudin of HIAP AIK RACING TEAM’s bike was right in front of me. At that moment, the distance was too close to avoid it. We collided, and I was thrown high into the air, landing hard. At that moment, two bikes crashed into me, and I ended up with a broken right femur.”

His words capture the chaos of a split second, a reminder of how quickly fortunes can change. The thrill of racing, once exhilarating, had turned into a harrowing experience that would leave a lasting mark on his life.

“Honestly, I am very sad,” Adie confided, the weight of his disappointment evident. “I had prepared myself for this race and set targets for this round. But it seems it wasn’t meant to be. Insha Allah, I believe that something better will come in the future. I will strive to recover and race again as soon as possible.”

For Adie, this isn’t just about racing; it’s about the passion that fuels his life. The pain of this setback feels insurmountable, but deep down, there’s a flicker of hope that refuses to be extinguished.

As he navigates this difficult chapter, Adie remains resolute in his determination to recover. “Right now, I’m still not fully healthy. But if I follow all the doctor’s instructions, Insha Allah, I will recover soon.”

The support from his team and fans is a lifeline, yet the road ahead is daunting. Each physical therapy session will serve as a reminder of both the struggle and the passion that drives him to return to the track.

Adie also shared the advice from his doctors: “I need to adhere to a strict medication schedule and undergo physical therapy to fully recover.” This practical approach highlights the reality of his situation as he contemplates the long journey back to competitive racing.

For Adie, the path to recovery is not just a physical journey; it’s a test of resilience and hope—a testament to the unwavering belief that brighter days await just beyond the next bend in the track.
