The Story Of Aldi Satya Mahendra, Indonesia's Young Racer Wins The WorldSSP300 Race In The Czech Republic: I Only Think About My Speed
JAKARTA - Indonesia's young racer, Aldi Satya Mahendra, managed to fly the Red and White Flag at the Autodrom Circuit, Most, Czech Republic, Sunday, July 30, local time.
Aldi won the second race which took place on a wet track. Heavy rain that fell during the warm-up lap made the race postponed.
The race was then reduced to eight laps. Aldi, who defended Team BrCorse as a wildcard, immediately shot up. He managed to get the lead after competing fiercely with other riders.
Aldi also scored the fastest lap race on the final lap with 1 minute 58.987 seconds. This is his first win in the championship in his fourth race.
"I am very happy with my first win at WorldSSP300. The track conditions were really wet (because of the rain), and I only thought about my speed at that time," Aldi said as quoted from the official WSBK statement via Antara.
"On the last lap, I wanted to save my pace, but I knew I should have been able to do more. I pushed and was able to overtake for victory at the last corner," continued Aldi.
In this race, his older brother, Galang Hendra Pratama, took part. Unfortunately, the racer who rode the Sublime Racing by MS Racing motorcycle experienced technical problems and failed to compete in the front row.
