Racing sensation McKinley Kyle Paz definitely proved that he belongs to the international stage with an impressive showing in the Asia Underbone 150 Championship in Tailem Bend, South Australia. This event is under the 2018 Asia Road Racing Championships. Being part of the breakaway group, Kyle actually led the pack several times for several laps, after exchanging leads with Izzat Zaidi and Helmi Azman. Come the final lap, it was a very exciting race as there were 5 different lines heading into the hairpin, with Kyle being a close 2nd. But in the second to the last turn, Kyle went off course after an outside attack and that relegated him to 6th place over-all. Heartbreaking but still an impressive showing. Race 2 is tomorrow.

He clearly stamped his class early on as he was the fastest rider in the practice sessions. More good things to come to this kid. It’s still early and there are several other races in the season. We’re with you Wonder Boy!
