More from a press release issued by Idemitsu Moto4 Asia Cup:

Chishiki doubles up as podium fight goes to final corner. The Japanese star makes it two wins from two in Buriram as Irfan and Togashi clinch maiden podiums in the class.

Hayato Chishiki claimed a maximum 50 points from the opening weekend of Idemitsu Moto4 Asia Cup action in Thailand thanks to his classy Race 2 victory on Sunday morning. The Japanese rider rode clear of the chasers to earn a second win in the class by over two seconds, as Qabil Irfan and Kotaro Togashi clinched their first podiums in P2 and P3.

In the latter stages of the 15-lap race, Chishiki pulled the pin at the front and unlike in Race 1 where Waku Kunitate went with the #16, no one was able to tag onto the back of the eventual race winner. However, the fight for the final podium spots went right down to the wire. Irfan eventually won that particular battle by 0.127s over Togashi, as both the Malaysian and Japanese rising stars celebrate their first Moto4 Asia Cup rostrums.

Kunitate ended Race 2 in P4 to collect a good haul of points from Round 1, while Bintang Pranata eventually settled for P5 after the Indonesian was demoted one position after the chequered flag for irresponsible riding on the final lap.

What a start to the season then in Thailand! Next up, we rejoin the MotoGP paddock at the Qatar Grand Prix in April for Round 2, where we can expect more of the same epic racing.
