Paz caps off Euro Moto2 Round 5 with top-10 finish

MANILA: “The Wonder Boy” McKinley Kyle Paz celebrated his 20th birthday with a top-10 finish in Round 5 of the 2021 FIM CEV Moto2 European Championship which was held at MotorLand Aragon in Spain.

Paz managed to qualify for 14th position despite having an injury on his pinky finger which made it hard to maintain a grip with his left hand. Because of his grit and determination, Paz concluded Race 1 with a top 10 finish.
