Looking at the entry list, I am quite sure that it would be tough to defend my championship title but I will utilise my experiences from the previous years and from other championships to find the best position in the race category. I also learnt quite a lot from the experiences of other riders and I usually evaluate it further to see if I can emulate it in my own riding techniques.” “My goal is to continue enhancing my performances and work on my limitations so that I can continue with the momentum of winning. As for the machine, so far, I think it is in excellent condition. The team has been working hard to ensure optimised performance. I will of course do my best to understand the machine that I get. The Sepang circuit is a long and wide one and while it can be easy, it can also be challenging because it opens up opportunities for other riders to strike. I love Sepang circuit and frankly, I am looking forward to the ride once again.” In the MSBK250 B race category, Md Izrul Huzaimi returned to the scene for a full-season in 2023 after gaining an impressive achievement in the final round of season 2022 with a double-shot on the podium.
