His skills in sportbike racing have greatly improved and in 2025, a new chapter in Hyper Leean’s racing career will commence as he will race in the FIM Asia Road Racing Championship. Chosen to race for the Philippines in the TVS Asia One Make Championship, Hyper Leean shared, “Thrilled to announce that I will be competing in the full season of the ARRC TVS One Make, representing the Philippines and PSA/Pops Shock Attack Racing Team. This is an incredible opportunity to showcase our talent on the international stage, and I am fully committed to giving my best performance. Your support means the world to me as we take on this challenge together. Let’s make it a season to remember!”
Paredes and Pops Shock Attack expressed gratefulness to NAMSSA and Mr. Stephan “Macky” Carapiet, USRA and Mr. Duds Lumague and InsideRACING and MotoIR Championship’s Mr. Al Camba for the opportunity. The MotoIR Championship organized by InsideRACING and sanctioned by NAMSSA and USRA has been a great breeding ground for Filipino riders who dreams to embark on international racing and level up their careers. Paredes is just one of the numerous Filipino racers who have gone international after or while competing in the MotoIR.
