Do you ever hear "Pawi" rider moto3 from Malaysia? I would like to talk about him...
Khairul Idham Pawi again impressed in the wet and hitting the front and pulling away to a clear win in the German Moto3 Grand Prix at the Sachsenring.
Khairul masters wet Sachsenring to win German GP race
The 17-year-old Malaysian put up a wonderful ride to claim his second Moto3 win of the season at the German Motorcycle Grand Prix at the Sachsenring Circuit on Sunday.
Khairul, who is from Kampong Gajah in Perak, gave the fans a glimpse of things to come when he topped the morning warm-up session on a rainy day in the ninth round of the World Championship.
As rain continued to hammer down on the track for the race proper, the Honda Team Asia rider successfully pulled off a breathtaking move to shoot from 20th on the grid to seventh by the end of the opening lap.
By the fifth lap, Khairul was in front. And he superbly negotiated the wet and treacherous track to win the 27-lap race by a massive 11.131 seconds.
Khairul crossed the finish line in 47:07.763 with Italian Andrea Locatelli second in 47:18.894.
Pole-sitter Enea Bastianini of Italy settled for third in 47:21.122.
Fellow Malaysian Adam Norrodin of SIC Racing Team did not finish the race after he crashed on lap 15.
“Syukur Alhamdulilah, I am happy and grateful for this win. I only wanted to go for championship points, but as it continued to rain I knew I had a chance to do well.
“This is a difficult circuit and I am thankful everything worked out well in the end.
“Many thanks to my crew members. This victory is for my loved ones and the Malaysians back home who support me,” said Khairul who is now 10th overall with 54 points.
