The weekend weather was great with a lot of Sun and high temperature, but this also puts a lot of stress to all the bike's engine, The Kawasaki's were running at temp that goes up to 105, so this actually saps a lot of the much needed power from the machines, the only relief is that every other team were all suffering from similar problems.  The weekend starts with the Open Class Race 1, Huang took a good start and was leading the group until the Open class 1's No; 2 bigger cc bike took the lead and came home winning the Open Class2 and 2nd in the combine class.
Race 2 of the Open Class saw Huang took a catapult start and was immediately pulling out a comfortable distance, Huang rode a brilliant race and won the combine class coming home 1st with over 6 second to spare. With the 2 wins in the Open Class 2, Huang has more or less seals up the Year's Championship
With the most important 600 SS class, this again saw some fierce battle among the 2 Arlen Ness-BG rider Huang and HE, MLT Yamaha’s Chow and Zong Zhen’s Leung, at Race 1 of the 600SS class, both AN-BG riders took the 1st corner with Huang in the lead, and with HE in 2nd place, this has allow Huang to pull away From the fierce battle for 2nd place and winning the race with a comfortable margin.
Race 2 of the 600SS saw similar results with Huang took the pole start and again shows his superior riding style winning the race 2.  With Huang winning both of the 600SS races, this has allow Huang to pull a comfortable points lead of over 40 points against the Yamaha Chow and Zong Shen's Leung.


Riders' Comments:
　
Huang: The testing at Japan with the Top Pro rider from Japan has actually let us improve a lot on our riding skills, putting all these into practice during the race weekend has prove to be successful, I have more confidence and is carry more speed going into corners, this has explained my record breaking time of the constant low 42's 黃世釗 送你wallpaper！

HE:    I was looking forward to some good racing this weekend, but during the Japan testing, I'd sustain a pull muscle on my forarm, this has affected my riding a few laps into the race as the muscles starts to pulsate with some pain, this explained my fast lap times in the beginning of the race and slacked off after a few laps, but I’m glad that I managed to dice with the others and help Huang winning both of the 600SS races.

Riders’ Comments:
Huang:
To be able to enter a Moto GP event in any class is like a dream come true for any riders/racers in the world, and we consider us to be extremely fortunate to be with the Team. The MotoGP race has the world’s best riders competing in the most severe level of competition, our current level of racing in China still has some way to go before we’re able to compete with these world’s top riders, but being able to enter into the race and getting the best support will significantly improve our level and prepare us for a better future.

HE:   
After the testing at Sugo, Japan, the Yamaha Team’s professionalism and tech support was really an eye opener, the machines are impeccable and the riding with one of Japan’s Top riders does show us a lot of what need to be done, we only hope that we can try our very best so to provide our Team, sponsors the best results possible.
Team Manager’s comment:
For any existing World GP Team to enter a GP race will take a lot of time and manpower in Preparation and testing, This Oct Malaysian GP Round comes in a bit of a short notice, in 6 weeks’ time, we have to get the Yamaha Factory to provide the latest machines, get CMSA’s sanction, Visa for the riders to go to Japan to do testing, and in between, our Team has to do the China, Zhuhai Championship round in late Sept, then the China National Championship in early Oct, this has put a lot of stress to our resources and riders, fortunately, the Japan testing went well and everyone in the Team is eager looking forward to Malaysia, the only worry is that our riders has never ride at the Sepang circuit, so they’ll need some time to learn this new circuit, we’ll all be going to Malaysia in early Oct so that the team and riders can have a better understanding of the circuit and have enough time to set up the bikes up to suit the circuit.
The racing level in the Moto GP 250 class is very high and all riders are full pros from some of the best bike racing countries, this is a great opportunity for the team/riders to learn from some of the best race team/riders in the world, we’d hoping for a good qualifying and a good race, this is China’s and so is the team/riders’ first venture into the highest level of motorcycle racing in the world, the experience gained will be invaluable for the future of Motorsports in China and our neighboring countries.
Arlen Ness-BG team will be, together with China’s National TV, CCTV, and the official China News New Agency reporting this event prior, during and after the actual race, we again, would like to send our most sincere thanks to all our sponsor, supporters and Biker friends for the support they’d been giving us and hope we will have good results to show for it.
