rooster59 Posted July 27, 2019 Share Posted July 27, 2019 Thais roar into history books at slippery Japan 4 Hours Endurance By The Nation Thai riders have won the Suzuka 4 Hours Endurance race for the first time since the event was first held in 1962. Female bike racer Mooklada Sarapuech and male counterpart Piyawat Pratoomyos displayed outstanding teamwork and performance to become the first Thai riders to win the Suzuki 4 Hours Endurance Race in Japan on Saturday. Mooklada roared away from second place on a wet grid, riding a Honda CBR600RR for Thailand’s AP Honda team for the third year at the 5.8-kilometre Suzuka Circuit. She quickly dropped to third but then cut through the field to claim the lead by the fourth lap. After 55 minutes she pitted and handed the bike to Piyawat with an 8.2-second lead. He swiftly stretched it to 21.8 seconds over their nearest rivals, from Indonesia. By the end of the second hour, the rising star from Honda’s “Race to the Dream” project had cemented a 1-minute lead. Back in the saddle, Mooklada performed flawlessly on the slippery track to put the Thai team a full two laps ahead. The wet conditions then caused a serious accident that saw marshals halt the race after two hours and 40 minutes. With rain still lashing the track, the race was called off and the AP Honda duo named winners after 360km covered.

PremiumLane Posted July 28, 2019 Share Posted July 28, 2019 No surprise, inane comments that have nothing to do with the great success and effort these two riders put in. This forum is a real cesspool sometimes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
