Koyama splendid second in Malaysian 125cc Grand Prix |
Koyama kept his best for last when he leapt ahead of the group battling
for second place. It was the 24-year-oldfs sixth podium finish of the
season and he now has a solid grip on third place in the seasonfs standings
with a 15-point-lead over Czech rider Lukas Pesek in fourth position.
Koyama said it had been a difficult race with a happy ending. He said he
had experienced some problems with the front tyre, with the front closing
in some corners. gAt one fast corner in the middle of the race I even
ran off the track and almost crashed,h he said. gLuckily I was able to
continue and then I tried to change my riding style by putting more weight
on the front. I could push again in the closing stages and it was possible
to get a podium finish again.h |
