Andy Muhammad Fadly is all set for his return to the Asian stage.
Fadly’s title defense year will also mark his 5th season in the Asia
Production 250cc class.
He will be one of two Kawasaki Ninja 250 in the Asia Production
250cc class this season. The Indonesian rider will continue his longterm relationship with the Motul Sniper Manual Tech Racing Team.
And after a two-year break, will resume his on-track partnership with
Japanese rider, Aiki Iyoshi.
Of the four main classes in the FIM Asia Road Racing Championship
roster, the Asia Production 250cc is perhaps one where the fiercest
battles are fought.
This season will be no different. With strong entries coming in from
Vietnam, India, Thailand, Malaysia, and of course, Indonesia. In fact,
Fadly’s strongest competitors are likely to be his compatriots, with
Indonesian riders making up 53% of the Asia Production 250cc grid.
Stiff competition is expected to come the likes of ASTRA HONDA
Racing team trio Adenanta Putra, Herjun Atna Firdaus and Rheza
Danica Ahrens (2018 AP250 Champion). Former GP rider Rafid Topan
Sucipto as well as seasoned campaigners like Fitriansyah Kete and
Rey Ratukore can also be expected to put up strong performances.
YAMAHA Racing Indonesia’s young riders Aldi Satya Mahendra and
Anggi Setiawan are also hot favourites for the title.
“I can’t wait to get back in the groove. The grid looks impressive!
Every single rider up there are tough competitors for me! Closer to
home, I’ll certainly be benchmarking my performance against that of
the riders from the two Indonesian manufacturer teams – the ASTRA
Honda Racing Team and YAMAHA Racing Indonesia,” said Fadly.
Andy Muhammad Fadly had been far from idle during the extended
‘off-season’. Instead, he has been keeping himself in race trim by
staying active in the national Indonesian racing championships.
