The race for the MSBK 250 title came down to a final showdown between championship leaders Mohd Izam Ikmal and Mohd Danial Syahmi. At the end of Race 2, only two points separated the two rivals at the top of the championship table. With the title at stake, the final race of the season for the MSBK 250 class opened with Izam off to a flying start. Predictably, Izam led a procession of four top riders with Danial Syahmi, Mohd Hakim Danish and Mohd Idlan Hakimi Raduan in tow. The first half of the 8-lap race was a rather civilized affair, with everyone content to follow Izam’s lead. But as the pressure piled up, the unforced errors began showing up. The race rhythm hotted up on Lap 7 when mechanical issues forced Idlan Hakimi out of the race. Sandwiched between the two SIC Racing riders Danial Syahmi and Hakim Danish, Izam came under concerted attack from the team mates. However, Izam was only concerned about one competitor, which was Danial Syahmi. Allowing Hakim Danish to go through into the win, Izam did his level best to block Danial from overtaking him at the last corner. Hakim won the final race with 20’05.564s. Having effectively blocked Danial Syahmi’s line, Izam raced home in second with 20’05.565s to confirm his position as the 2021 MSBK 250 champion. Danial Syahmi took third place with 20’05.730s. In the MSBK 250 B class, MME Racing Team Malaysia’s Ahmad Farhan Iqwan finished strong with 21’42.322s followed by Daing Jamilus Herianto with 21’46.409s. Farhan’s hattrick this weekend saw him crowned as the MSBK 250 Weekend Warrior.

As the 2021 season of the Malaysia Superbike Championship unfolds over two rounds and six races, the one thing that has struck the MSBK paddock is the increasing maturity displayed by SIC Racing rider Mohd Danial Syahmi. The young rider who has bounced back strong after a potentially career-ending injury in 2018, has proven that he has lost none of his drive and determination. At the season finale of the 2021 season, Danial started Race 2 from pole position. The 8-lap race was a master class in team play as SIC Racing duo Danial and Mohd Hakim Danish went head to head against Boon Siew Honda Racing Team’s Mohd Izam Ikmal and Mohd Idlan Hakimi. There was more than just the trophy on the line for the four riders. Danial needed a strong finish to stay within title contention while Izam desperately needed to get back onto the podium to make up for his ride-through penalty in Race 1. As the pressure mounted, it was Mohd Hakim Danish who pulled a rocket start to lead into the holeshot. But there was no getting away from the top four riders of the class. The quartet were wheel-to-wheel from start to finish. Despite individual attempts at breaking away, everyone were still jumbled together on Lap 7. Danial managed to pull a lead at the start of the final lap, but the straight line speed of the Honda CBR250RR brought Izam Ikmal right back on his tail at the back straight. A final sprint to the finish line saw Danial pipping Izam to the chequered flag by a mere 0.023 seconds. Danial scored his second consecutive win of the weekend with 20’06.673s. Izam Ikmal had to settle for second with 20’06.696s. Mohd Idlan Hakimi snared the final podium slot in third with 20’07.091s. This hard-won victory has narrowed the gap between the top two riders in the MSBK 250 title chase. Izam still leads with 108 points, while Danial is now only two points behind with 106. Meanwhile Ahmad Farhan Iqwan topped the MSBK 250 B class with 21’40.267s. The MME Racing Team Malaysia rider enjoyed a relatively unchallenged lead, with second placed Mohd Fauzi Hassan 1.5 seconds behind. Daing Jamilus Herianto was third in the MSBK 250 B race.

Within line of sight, his closest competitor would be Mohd Idlan Hakimi Raduan the from Boon Siew Honda Racing Team who qualified for third on the grid. Championship leader Izam Ikmal slotted between the two riders, but with a ride-through penalty looming, Izam would not be a podium contender, at least for Race 1.

On course to win his first MSBK 250 title, Mohd Izam Ikmal is still feeling upbeat as Round 2 of the 2021 Malaysia Superbike Championship gets underway at the Sepang International Circuit this weekend. In spite of a looming ride-through penalty which he must serve out in Race 1, the Boon Siew Honda Racing Team rider has expressed confidence that he will end the weekend on a triumphant note.

Boon Siew Honda Racing Team’s Mohd Izam Ikmal was the most consistent rider in the season opener of the 2021 Malaysia Superbike Championship (MSBK). The young rider served up a hattrick of wins in the MSBK 250 class, culminating with a dramatic finish in Race 3. Again, starting from the back of the grid, Izam’s rocket start put him within the leading group by the first corner. Izam resumed his rivalry with Mohd Danial Syahmi from SIC Racing for the lead. This time, however, Mohd Syafieq Aiman Mohd Fauzi from ONEXOX TKKR Racing Team joined the fray, making Race 3 of the MSBK 250, a three-corner fight. Racing under overcast skies and on a semi-dry track, the three riders battled throughout the 8-lap race. As the riders headed to Turn 15 for the final sprint to the chequered flag, Izam got himself into the inside racing line while Danial Syahmi tried to make do with the outside line. The two riders touched. Izam survived, but Danial was bumped off the track. Izam raced to his third win of the weekend with 22’30.722s ONEXOX TKKR Racing Team’s Mohd Syafieq Aiman clocked his best result of the weekend in second place with 22’31.285s. Danial Syahmi got up in time to make it to the podium in third place. “I almost crashed on Turn 5 in the last three laps. When we got to the final lap, I was just thinking to out-brake Danial at the last corner. I was on the inside line, Danial was outside. I tried to stay in my line but I didn’t think that we would touch. I would like to apologize to Danial for the incident,” said Izam. Meanwhile, Mohd Fauzi Hassan emerged as the winner of the MSBK 250 Weekend Warrior with 66 points to his name.
