Perfect Weekend for PSA Aprilia’s Paredes

Round 4 of the Motul MotoIR National Championship at the Tarlac Circuit Hill saw a seamless performance from Leeandro Paredes who delighted his Pops Shock Attack Aprilia team by taking the pole position, winning the Sprint race and emerging victorious in the main Super Sport Bike GP race.

Paredes indeed was impeccable on board his Aprilia RS457. He was the fastest at the qualifying held on September 6 and got the best lap time again in the Super Pole session. In the afternoon, Paredes continued dominance and clinched the win in the Motul 300V Super Sport Bike GP Sprint race.

The main race the next day was an exciting one and though challenged by Motortrade Kawasaki WRD racer Casey Clamor, Paredes had a solid showing and finished in P1, clinching the victories in the Intermediate and GP classes. This was the first win of Paredes in the Super Sport Bike GP race of the Motul MotoIR.

“Hyper Leean” shared, “What a perfect weekend! This round was really special because I got to race with my classmates in WRD. The battles on track were tough but super fun, and it pushed me to give my best every lap. Racing with them made it even more exciting, and I learned a lot from the experience. I’m really thankful for everything I’ve learned this weekend. Every race teaches me something new and helps me grow as a rider. Huge thanks to my team for all the hard work, to my family and friends for the endless support, and to God for keeping me safe and strong every time I race. And of course, thank you so much to my sponsors for the trust and support, I’ll keep pushing to make you proud!”
