RAUDA WILL GO FOR IT, ONCE AGAIN!
Round 4 of the AEON CREDIT MAM MALAYSIA SUPERBIKE CHAMPIONSHIP will be held at Sepang International Circuit this weekend. Can Muhd Rauda Tul Razman complete the season with another Weekend Champion win in the MSBK1000 B race category?
In Round 3, Rauda was exceptional when he scored a win in Race 1 and second place in Race 2. It was quite a performance especially coming from a newbie for the season, racing alongside some of the seasoned riders in the race category. Rauda showcased not just consistency but also his ability to inject pressure and tackle his contenders. But with competency level progressively increasing among the riders, can Rauda repeat his winning moves to secure one more trophy before the curtains close?
Rauda commented, “Being a newbie in the MSBK1000 B race category has been quite a challenge for me. I did not expect to win but somehow, I managed to learn as quickly as I could and take the win. My goal in the beginning was only to finish the race safely. Despite the win, there are the challenges for sure especially getting used to the race machine. I had to do a lot of homework – learning in terms of understanding the intricacies of machine setup. I had to ensure that I found the compatibility with the machine. I am glad things worked out well for me so far.”
“My main contenders are Teuke Irfan and Ejad. They are highly competitive but my strategy is quite simple. If we are going to rivals, I will just have to hold on to my best from the start till the end. It won’t be easy but if there is one thing I have learnt, racing is never going to be easy. It is all about strategizing and working on the riding techniques. So, I will do my best despite the stiff competition with my contenders and keeping my fingers crossed that I will cross the finish line without any major issues.”
“Sepang has been a wonderful place to ride and I like everything about the circuit. Every corner requires a different approach in maximising the racing lines. It’s wide and safe for all rider. My machine currently is a stock version and there has not been much upgrading except for the braking system. Besides the condition of the machine, more importantly, I am preparing myself physically too. I do a lot of cardio workouts which is crucial for a 3-day event. Fitness has been my 1st priority so far, more so being a cyclist professionally. I have grown to love 2-wheels from there and right now, I am finding a keen interest for racing. For the machine, I will leave it to the crew to make the best and most of it.”
