Currently leading the championship with 121 points is our very own local supermoto hero, Muhd Habibullah or better known as “Gabit”.  Not too far from the top rider is Australian Andy McLiesh who is currently trailing Gabit in second spot by just 14 points. These two supermoto legends will fight it out for the Open International Class championship in two weeks time.

The two brothers, Gabit and Gaban, are also competing for the title in the Asian Class. The battle for third place is still up for grabs with another Malaysian, Mohd Khairi Zakaria, battling it out with Japanese supermoto sensation, Takashi Sasaki.

The final round of the FIM Asia Supermoto Championship 2016 is something that all motorsport enthusiasts should look out for on the 17th and 18th December 2016 at the historic Shah Alam Stadium. This round will be the championship decider and as the awesome Malaysian supporters that we all are, the local riders will need all the support they can get to get the job done and once again put the Malaysian name on the map of international motorsports.

Apart from the supermoto races, there will also be a lot of activities at the street fiesta where spectators can bring the whole family to have a fun-filled weekend. With all this planned for the finale, we sure can’t wait for that weekend to arrive.
