11-corner challenge awaits Hakim Danish in bid to maintain top spot

AFTER FIM JuniorGP World Championship at the Magny-Cours Circuit in France where the race took place in wet conditions and Danish crashed out while running in 6th position, he now returns with renewed motivation and valuable experience gained from last week. Round 5 of the Red Bull MotoGP Rookies Cup takes place this weekend at Sachsenring, Germany. This short but technical track is famously known as The Sachsenring Rollercoaster due to its unique, undulating layout. Stretching 3.67km, the circuit features 3 right-hand corners and 10 left-handers, with the final uphill turn expected to provide an intense challenge and close racing this weekend. Danish remains at the top of the overall standings with 148 points, holding a 32-point lead over second-placed rider Brian Uriarte of Spain. SIC Racing Team Manager, Zulfahmi Khairuddin, is also on-site at Sachsenring to oversee all preparations, setup, and strategy to ensure a smooth race week. 'This weekend marks race week, and I'm feeling incredibly excited to hit the track. My goal is to secure a podium finish and stay calm without being too hasty during the race. I truly appreciate all your support and hope you'll keep me in your prayers for a successful weekend,' said Hakim.

KUALA LUMPUR, June 9 — The country's rising star in motorsport, Muhammad Hakim Danish Ramli, repeated his achievement from last season by winning the second race of the third round in the MotoGP Rookies Cup at MotorLand Aragon, Spain yesterday. Adding to the cheers, this victory was his first win of the season and his second podium finish in the third round, after coming in second in the first race yesterday. In yesterday's second race, the 17-year-old rider, who started from seventh position, successfully overtook his opponents one by one and continued to show excellent riding skills in the last two laps to win the race with a time of 26 minutes 52.773 seconds (s). Spanish rider, Brian Uriarte, had to settle for second place, only 0.188 seconds (s) behind, while his compatriot David Gonzalez secured third place with a time of 26 minutes 52.968s. 'Yes, finally we get a P1. The race was fantastic for today and the race was quite difficult. The tyre dropped a lot but I could manage it. 'I would like to say thank my sponsors and my family and all my friends who supported me. And 'Selamat Hari Raya Aidiladha' to all Malaysians,' he said immediately after the race. The victory achieved by Hakim Danish sees the Terengganu-born youngster extend his lead with 125 points, holding a 30-point advantage over Uriarte in second place. The next race will take place in Mugello, Italy on June 21 and 22. — Bernama
