Kyle Paz, the first and only Filipino in the FIM JRGP Moto2 European Championship, is back on the grid for July after missing the previous round due to a right-hand injury.
The setback was one of many challenges that the Yamaha Philippines Stylobike Racing Team rider had to endure in his motorsports journey. Competing with the best young riders in Europe requires a virtually unrelenting series of trials to squeeze out the best in any racer.
For the young Filipino, it’s all about staying focused on the goal of “Racing our Flag.”

After a brief hiatus, the first race back for Paz was in Portugal for round 4 last July 1 and 2, where he was eager to shake off the dust from his unplanned layoff. It was a decent performance for ‘The Wonder Boy’ as he finished in 14th place in both races 1 and 2.
He looked to have improved his performance for round 5 in Barcelona, Spain, last July 14 to 16, where he continued to show consistency after starting at 18th place and finishing race 1 in 14th place and 12th place in race 2.

A moto-journo who spends most of his time on the saddle unless otherwise saddled with desk work. His curious nature and poor sense of direction often take him on unplanned adventures.
