Winning a championship is a remarkable feat, but defending it requires an entirely different level of resolve. Heading into this weekend’s crucial Round 5 of FIM Asia Road Racing Championship 2026 at the PETRONAS Sepang International Circuit, reigning UB150 Champion Husni Zainul Fuadzy of ZIEAR LFN HP969 ADELIN MCR RBT34 stands on the verge of proving his lasting dominance. Carrying the hopes of his team and a commanding 67-point lead, Husni has the rare opportunity to mathematically lock in back-to-back titles early, right here on Malaysian soil. Following a flawless performance in Round 4, Husni currently dominates the rider standings with 157 points. His closest competitor, Rendi Odding of the 4S1M EVO YAMAHA Racing Team, sits in second place with 90 points. This substantial 67 point advantage means that if Husni can maintain a lead of more than 50 points over his rivals by the conclusion of this weekend’s races, he will be crowned the overall 2026 UB150 Champion early. Despite the mounting pressure, Husni remains remarkably composed. “I refuse to let the championship expectations become a burden this weekend. I have been in this exact position before, having fought for the title last year, so my mindset is to stay completely grounded. I am not changing my approach just because of the points gap. My primary focus remains exactly the same as always, it is pushing for the top step of the podium. Hopefully, if everything aligns perfectly, I can lock up the championship early here.” The UB150 category is universally renowned for its chaotic and unpredictable nature. However, after scoring a perfect 50 points in the previous round, Husni is carrying significant momentum. “Securing back-to-back victories last round was an incredible boost. Alhamdulillah, that flawless performance has given me immense motivation and a deep sense of confidence heading into Sepang.” “Everyone knows how fiercely competitive this class is. My strategy is simply to stay focused, carefully analyze the race during every single lap, and ensure I am in the optimal position to strike during the crucial final two laps.” With rival riders pushing to the absolute limit to keep their own title hopes alive, Husni has no plans to ride defensively. “I intend to fight fiercely and give absolutely everything on the track to secure the best possible points. I know the other riders will be aggressive. My method for handling that intense pressure is to maintain my composure. I will stay completely calm and ensure I do not get easily provoked into making unnecessary mistakes.” “I am praying that everything goes smoothly this weekend. Defending this title and becoming the 2026 champion again would be an absolute dream come true. I am so deeply grateful for my team, and everyone who has tirelessly supported and prayed for my campaign.”

Syirat took second at 15’33.225s, while Dimas secured third at 15’33.530s. Husni said, “I am deeply grateful for this victory, and I want to extend a massive thank you to my entire team. Going into the race, my strategy was to stick to my usual riding style, keep pushing the pace, and focus intensely on defending my track position. It was a very fierce battle, but I tried to manage the situation calmly.” “Alhamdulillah, entering the final two laps, I found the opening I needed. On the final lap through Turn 3, I took a quick glance and realized I had pulled a slight gap. That gave me a huge surge of adrenaline, and I immediately twisted the throttle to increase my speed.” “In the closing stages, I saw Syirat making a hard charge. Instead of letting it disrupt my rhythm, I used his move to my tactical advantage. He became the perfect target, I tucked in right behind him, used his slipstream for maximum top speed, and executed a perfect slingshot pass to take the lead. It was a thrilling finish, and I am absolutely overjoyed!” TOP 5 FASTEST – RACE 2 1. HUSNI ZAINUL FUADZY – ZIEAR LFN HP969 ADELIN MCR RBT34 (15’33.175s) 2. M.

Coming off a successful Round 3 weekend, Rendi Odding and the 4S1M EVO YAMAHA Racing Team approaching Mandalika International Circuit, Indonesia, with strong momentum for Round 4 of LFN FIM Asia Road Racing Championship 2026. After securing back-to-back second-place finishes and helping his squad achieve a one-two result in Mobility Resort Motegi, Japan, Rendi now sets his sights on securing a UB150 victory in front of his home crowd. Currently sitting second in the overall standings and trailing leader Husni Zainul Fuadzy of ZIEAR LFN HP969 ADELIN MCR RBT3 by 38 points, Rendi’s steady consistency keeps him firmly in title contention. With Mandalika hosting the next chapter of this competitive season, where Indonesian riders currently hold the top five championship positions, another exciting race weekend is expected. Following their success in Japan, Rendi remains proud but focused. “The results in Japan provided a great motivation boost for me and the entire crew. We proved that our hard work behind the scenes is truly paying off.” “However, we are also aware that every circuit brings its own set of challenges. We are keeping our heads down and focusing heavily on preparation to ensure we maintain this positive form heading into Mandalika.” The UB150 class is well known for its close racing and unpredictable pack battles. Rendi knows that bridging the gap to the championship lead requires smart tactics as well as speed. He understands that securing a maiden 2026 victory means mastering those crucial final laps. “We are very close to reaching that top step. It mostly comes down to improving a few fine details and taking advantage of every small opportunity on the final lap.” “A 38 point gap is significant, but the season is still long. My strategy relies on consistency. We are aiming to secure as many points as possible without taking unnecessary risks. If the right opportunity for a win appears, I will certainly take it.” Managing the pressure of UB150 pack racing is a difficult challenge that Rendi has learned to navigate through years of competition. “Experience is helpful when you are caught in a massive slipstream group. I always try to remain calm, read the movements of my rivals, and choose the exact right moment to attack or defend. Clear communication and strategy with the team before the race are also vital in these situations.” Navigating Mandalika’s fast flowing corners and demanding braking zones presents a specific technical challenge for the team crews. However, racing on home soil provides Rendi with an important emotional advantage. “Mandalika is a challenging circuit that requires a very balanced setup, especially concerning handling and traction, to keep the bike stable over race distance.” “But beyond the technical side, racing here is a deeply special moment for me. The incredible support from the Indonesian fans always gives me an extra push to perform at my absolute best. Getting my first win of the season here is the main goal. I want to maximize every session, from practice to the race, to give our fans the best possible results.”
