Chasing the Apex: Yamaha Philippines Returns to Sepang

Alex A – Lifestyle On Wheels

Ask anyone who spends their life on two wheels—riding isn’t about the destination. It’s the hum of the engine beneath you, the hyper-focus entering a turn, and that brief moment where everything else just fades away. That exact passion is what’s driving the Yamaha Philippines Racing Team as they roll into Sepang for Round 5 of the Asia Road Racing Championship.

McKinley Kyle Paz is coming in hot. Fresh off a gritty P2 finish in Indonesia’s Supersport 600 class, he’s showing what happens when relentless practice meets cool composure under pressure. He isn’t just riding well; he’s actively earning his spot alongside Asia’s absolute best.

Meanwhile, UB150 riders April King Mascardo and Timothy Rojas are heading to Malaysia with something to prove. Mandalika hit them with a tough, chaotic weekend, but that’s racing. Sepang offers a clean slate—a chance to shake off the bad luck, tweak their strategy, and get back to doing what they do best.

With only two rounds left in the season, there’s zero room to coast. But for this crew—and the huge community of Pinoy riders cheering them on—it’s never just about the points. It’s about getting back on the bike, backing your teammates, and loving every second of the ride.
