00:00My country is in the lead for the SS600 category,
00:04at the same time saving the world.
00:06By watching Helmy Azman finish his first race on the podium
00:10in the middle of the 5th ARRC 2024.
00:14Yes, finished in front of the home ground
00:16with a lot of people coming today to support.
00:18It's a bit, people say I feel happy and sad.
00:21Happy because I'm sad.
00:22Sorry, happy.
00:23Sad because I'm happy.
00:24Because people say it's a joy, right?
00:27Because I brought him to Malaysia,
00:29on the podium in Asia.
00:31So I'm very thankful for my family who came to support.
00:34And thank you to all the supporters,
00:36and also my friends and all the sponsors.
00:39Deserving through the wildcard,
00:41Syahrul Shahzraz Syahrul Yuzi also created a sensation
00:43that surprised several racers
00:45in the UB150 category,
00:47including the veteran Muhammad Aqid Aziz
00:49with the third podium finish,
00:51even though still ahead of the championship.
00:54Firstly, I want to say thank God.
00:57Yesterday, I struggled a lot.
01:01I had two crashes,
01:02and I had an injury on my right arm.
01:05So, what happened yesterday,
01:08I almost gave up.
01:10I thought I might not have hope
01:12to race today.
01:13But I took it as motivation.
01:16I took it as a positive thing
01:18because I know Allah has determined
01:20what is good for us.
01:21And after the rain, there will be a rainbow.
01:23So, God willing, I will be on the podium again tomorrow.
01:27And I pray that the Malaysian people
01:30will pray for me to be on the podium again tomorrow.
01:32And in the race just now,
01:33I can say that it was a very good fight.
01:37I haven't fought with the Asian team for a long time.
01:41So, what my father said,
01:44just keep focused, just enjoy the race.
01:46So, I did what he said.
01:49So, I was focused.
01:51And Alhamdulillah, I was able to win today.
01:54Meanwhile, the Asian One May Championship
01:57runner-up, Muhammad Ramdan Rosli,
01:58described the reason for the failure
02:00to get the first podium
02:01because there was a problem
02:02to find the maximum speed
02:04in his race.
02:08If I were to stand,
02:09I would be in second place.
02:11Indeed, I want to fight for this year's championship,
02:15even though the points are a bit far.
02:17But I'm sure there's still a chance,
02:19even though it looks thin.
02:21But I will not give up to get the victory.
02:25Because the maximum point in every race is 25.
02:28So, it's impossible for me to do that.
02:30So, there's one more round to come.
02:33I'm sure I can give a tough competition
02:37to the other riders.
02:40The Asian Production category
02:41can see Muhammad Sharifuddin Azman
02:43or better known as Damok
02:45placing third in the podium,
02:48even though he's still suffering from influenza fever.
02:55In the race, I think the other riders
02:58did not push 100%.
03:01Because they know there are only five riders in the group.
03:05They tried to keep pace
03:08and try to close the line.
03:10But in the last lap,
03:13they tried to attack.
03:14But they were still careful.
03:19So, I tried to take the opportunity
03:23to be on the podium.
03:25Even though I was struggling with the flu,
03:28I couldn't attack
03:31because I had a problem with my flu.
03:35So, I tried to stay positive
03:39and thank God, I managed to be on the podium.
03:43In the race, Hafiz Sharifuddin Azman
03:45was only able to finish the race
03:46in the top five of the ASB 1000 category
03:49in front of the supporters of the Boys of Straits
03:51who gave him a round of applause.
03:52However, another representative of the country,
03:54Azlan Shah Kamarul Zaman,
03:56placed second
03:57and completed the evening of Gemilang for Malaysia
04:00with a podium for each category.
04:05Praise be to God,
04:06it was unexpected.
04:07It was an unexpected fortune
04:08because I started in the eighth position
04:11which is quite far.
04:12However, I didn't want to let go of the group in front
04:16and tried to make a good start
04:18and tried to follow their pace.
04:20In the end, I managed to finish in second place.
04:26Praise be to God.
04:29Okay, as far as the first ARRC race
04:32in the ASB 1000 category is concerned,
04:35Andi Farid Izzar finished in 129th place.
04:39However, he is now followed by Hafiz Sharin
04:42who is only eight points behind
04:44and Yuki Kuni in third place
04:46after gathering 117 points.
04:48Speaking of this category,
04:49Faizal Bazari's fellow colleagues
04:51had a chat with one of the racers
04:53who was rarely given a podium
04:55because he could not compete with the top group.
