CHEE YEN BAGGED WEEKEND CHAMPION

Race 2, Round 1 of Malaysia Superbike Championship was held at the Sepang International Circuit today. Khoo Chee Yen of Mobilub Suzuki Racing Team took home the Weekend Champion for MSBK1000 B race category.

Radzi was on his way towards scoring the fastest on the chart and while he did, he was declared disqualified. Khoo Chee Yen who was next in line emerged fastest. Throughout the race, Chee Yen was consistent and managed his pace well. Behind him was Raja Nazeem followed by Syukri.

During the race, Radzi once again was dominant as he took a look with Chee Yen trailing. Half way into lap 2, Radzi had a fall and was out of the race. With that Chee Yen moved ahead with Raja Nazeem and Amir at the top three positions but into lap 3, Amir superseded Raja Nazeem. By mid-race, Chee Yen was comfortable with his pace as he went on with the laps at a gap of 4s from Amir. Raja Nazeem tried to close the gaps with Amir however to no avail. On the final lap, Chee Yen took a fall at turn 15 which brought Amir up as the fastest at 23’04:405s.
