Pinoy riders gear up for 2nd round of ARRC in May

MANILA: After April King Mascardo placed ninth in Round One, he stated that he needed to make improvements to compete against the Asia Road Racing Championship's (ARRC) highly skilled riders. He made those adjustments in a race that was up and down, with positions hardly defined until the final few laps. In Race Two, he improved from his previous performance and finished fifth.

    Meanwhile, Gian Carlo Mauricio did not finish in the first race, but he did finish 17th in the second. “After the start, I was really feeling that I could make it. I was going strong for four laps but had trouble with my bike. In Malaysia, I will still give my best to be part of the top 10.”
