A bittersweet weekend for Malaysian motorcycle racer Syarifuddin Azman at Circuit Barcelona-Catalunya in Spain as he took his first ever win in the FIM CEV Moto3 Junior World Championship in Race 1. Unfortunately Syarifuddin, popularly known as Damok to Malaysian racing fans, didn’t repeat his success in Race 2, unable to complete the race due to another rider taking him out on lap 11.
Damok, who rides for Monlau Motorsport SIC Racing, finished the 74.5 kilometre race in a time of 29:32:533 over 16 laps, beating David Munoz Rodriguez of Avatel-Cardaso Racing by 0.162 seconds. Riding a Honda NSF250 with a #63 race number, 19-year old Damok, who started the race in tenth position on the grid, made a last lap charge at turn 10, shooting ahead to first place from fifth.
