Mohd Rozaliman Zakaria has taken early control of the Suzuki Asian Challenge as Round 2 goes underway at the Chang International Circuit. The Malaysian rider posted 2’17.760s in the first practice session, a benchmark that no one had been able to break in the second practice.
Meanwhile, Indonesia’s Jefri Tosema, trying hard to make up for lost points caused by his mechanic’s faux pas in Round 1, was second fastest with 2’17.981s, only 0.221s off Rozaliman’s pace. Singapore’s Arsyad Rusydi Shaharum was a distant third with 2’18.400s as his best lap.
