The Heat of the Moment! – Phoenix Cyclomax-Yamaha-KOSO-FAITO Racing Team Does Well in IR Cup and Super Series Opener

Date posted on April 19, 2017

Despite the sudden announcement of the season opener, the Phoenix Cyclomax-Yamaha-KOSO-FAITO Racing Team was still able to compete in the 1st leg of the IR Cup/Super Series which was held at the Clark International Speedway last April 9, 2017.

Despite being rusty coming off the long off-season break, they were able to get podium positions and set a new best lap time record in the 150 Open UB using an EFI engine. Rider Niel Jan Centeno (#22) clinched as the win in the 160 Automatic Elite and Vrei-ar Suba (#14) took the 1st runner-up position in the Yamaha GP 130cc UB category. McKinley Kyle Paz (#23) was crowned as the champion of the day for the Super Yamaha category. Justinne Bethany Tolentino (#30) was battling for the championship trophy when unfortunately, she encountered a minor mechanical issue and finished 9th.
