Mauricio Leads Yamaha Philippines Racing Team to First Place in ARRC Round 2

When the pressure was at its highest, the stellar performance of Gian Carlo Mauricio is a testament of his true ability. Competing in the ARRC for 3 seasons now, a podium finish has always alluded the young rider. That all changed at the Zhuhai International Circuit in China where ‘The Flash’ finally arrived. Entering race day at P5 on the grid the team was optimistic of his chances in race 1. What followed was astonishment which saw the rider lead the pack in the final lap seemingly unchallenged in the last corners. Not only was this his first victory but also first for the Yamaha Philippines Racing Team at the top of the podium for the season.

This victory continues the winning streak for the team after a good start in round 1 of the Asia Road Racing Championship by securing podium finishes in both the SS600 and UB150 category last March.  The UMA MMR Yamaha Philippines Racing Team continue to fight for the top spot with valuable points coming from Mauricio and teammate April King Mascardo who finished in 11^th place.

McKinley Kyle Paz who is racing under the Yamaha Tekhne Racing Team Asia and was 3^rd place in Round 1 was able to earn valuable points in the SS600 category with a 7^th place finish. This keeps his team at the top spot in the team standings.

Race 2 was canceled the following day due to weather conditions becoming unsuitable for racing. The consistency of the racing team is the result of Yamaha’s improved racing program that further develop riders and machines to compete at the highest level and create champions.

The Yamaha Philippines Racing Team received a warm welcome upon their arrival at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport where they held their post-race press conference. The team will be preparing for round 3 of the ARRC and hope to keep their winning streak alive at the Mobility Resort in Motegi, Japan on June 7-9.
