Kirk Tomas Dominguiano who raced for KOSO-Yamaha in IRGPXIII was stellar right from the qualifying day. Dominguiano got the pole position of his race class and made good use of it, capitalizing on his advantage and he did not let the chance to take and IRGP title slip his hands. In command of the 11-lap race from start to finish, Dominguiano’s victory was celebrated well by his team, family and supporters. Best lap time of the race which was 1:11.275s was also courtesy of the KOSO-Yamaha rider and because of his victory, Yamaha Motor Philippines was given another Manufacturer Award.
