TEUKU IS WELL PREPARED FOR ROUND 2

Round 2 of the AEON CREDIT MAM MALAYSIA SUPERBIKE CHAMPIONSHIP will be held at Sepang International Circuit this weekend. Teuku Irfan Affandy of Triple A Garage is geared up to embrace the challenges in the MSBK1000 B race category.

It may not be an easy feat but Teuku put on a bold fight over the weekend in Round 1 to bag the Weekend Champion title with a total of 45 points. Will it be a smooth ride in Round 2? Definitely not especially with the contenders who are equally competitive in the racing series especially the likes of Law Kien Huey. Clearly, what matters most is the ability to retain a consistent lap time while also being confident and consistent throughout the race.

Commenting on the race, Teuku said, “For Round 2, I expect the pace to get even tighter. Riders are going to come back stronger, so staying consistent and maintaining mental focus will be crucial. We’ve also got limited time to test and improve the bike, so preparation will be key. Rider like Law Kien Huey got serious pace. But instead of focusing too much on others, I focus on my own performance — lap by lap, session by session. Pressure is part of racing, but I treat it as fuel, not a burden. The bike performed well in Round 1, but there’s always room to improve. We’re still fine-tuning the suspension and electronics to suit different track conditions. With more data and feedback, I’m confident we can unlock a bit more performance and stability.”

Speaking about what excites him in MSBK, Teuku said, “What I love about MSBK1000B is the level playing field. It gives privateers and semi-pros a chance to shine and push their limits. The competition is intense but respectful. To improve the series, I’d suggest more media exposure and live streaming — it helps riders gain recognition and opens doors for more sponsorship opportunities. My main aim is to stay consistent, fight for the podium again, and collect valuable points for the championship. Through MSBK, I want to grow as a racer, build my team’s presence, and hopefully inspire more young riders to step into the sport.”
