Zulfahmi sedia cipta kejutan
Zulfahmi beraksi di MotoGP Qatar di Litar Antarabangsa Losail di Doha, 5 April lalu.
Kuala Lumpur: Segar daripada kejayaan menamatkan perlumbaan di kedudukan keenam pada aksi pembuka musim MotoGP di Qatar, pelumba Moto3 sensasi negara Muhammad Zulfahmi Khairuddin kini bersedia untuk terus melakar kejutan di pusingan kedua GP Amerika, hujung minggu ini sekalipun mengakui ia agak sukar.
Bagi pelumba pasukan Red Bull KTM Ajo itu, perlumbaan pusingan kedua MotoGP yang berlangsung di Austin, Texas itu adalah pertama buatnya menjadikan ia perlumbaan sukar diramal namun persediaan sudah dilakukan sejak tiba di negara Uncle Sam itu.
“Saya sudah melihat rakaman video litar ini sejak beberapa hari lalu, jadi saya tidak tiba di Austin tanpa sebarang pengetahuan,” kata pelumba berusia 21 tahun kelahiran Banting, Selangor itu.
Minggu yang sukar
“Saya juga meningkatkan latihan kecergasan saya di gimnasium untuk menjadi secergas mungkin untuk pusingan kedua ini kerana saya fikir ia akan menjadi minggu yang sukar.”
Menambah tekad Zulfahmi menjelang perlumbaan itu nanti pastinya Anugerah Khas yang berjaya diraihnya pada Anugerah Sukan Negara 2012 selepas berjaya membuka mata dunia dengan pencapaian, musim lalu terutama kejayaan podium di GP Malaysia.
Kejayaan meraih kedudukan keenam di Litar Losail menyamai kedudukan yang diraih Zulfahmi pada musim lalu memberikannya 10 mata keseluruhan dengan sasarannya tahun ini adalah memperbaiki pencapaian keseluruhannya tahun lalu.

Zulfahmi kukuh kedudukan Moto3
Zulfahmi kini di kedudukan keenam keseluruhan penunggang Moto3 selepas mengumpul 19 mata.
Kuala Lumpur: Di sebalik pelbagai kesukaran, jaguh MotoGP negara, Muhammad Zulfahmi Khairuddin berjaya menamatkan perlumbaan GP Amerika di kedudukan ketujuh perlumbaan Moto3 yang mengukuhkan posisinya di kedudukan keseluruhan senarai pelumba, kelmarin.
Perlumbaan di Litar Amerika di Austin, Texas adalah yang pertama dalam siri perlumbaan MotoGP, menghadirkan cabaran baru yang turut dibayangi kemalangan membabitkan penunggang Belanda, Jasper Iwema menyebabkan perlumbaan terpaksa dihentikan sebelum dimulakan semula dengan berbaki lima pusingan.
Masalah tayar
Bermula di petak ke-12, Zulfahmi yang turut berdepan masalah tayar berjaya memperbaiki kerosakan sebelum perlumbaan dimulakan semula dan menamatkan perlumbaan yang dimenangi penunggang Sepanyol, Alex Rins manakala rakan sepasukannya di Red Bull, Luis Salom ketiga. Seorang lagi penunggang Sepanyol, Maverick Vinales tempat kedua.
Ia minggu yang amat sukar buat saya yang menyaksikan saya banyak bergelut dengan pelarasan jentera, kata pelumba kelahiran Banting, Selangor ini yang ini berada di kedudukan keenam keseluruhan penunggang Moto3 selepas mengumpul 19 mata. Malah untuk menyesuaikan diri dengan susun atur litar ini juga sesuatu yang sukar.
Saya bermula dengan baik di awal perlumbaan dan berjaya memotong banyak pelumba lain namun selepas pusingan keenam, saya berdepan masalah tayar hadapan. Sejurus selepas itu, perlumbaan dihentikan dan saya berjaya menukar tayar yang baru sebelum pusingan kedua.
Beri tekanan
Saya berjaya memberi tekanan sehingga lima pusingan terakhir. Apapun, saya gembira dengan keputusan ini namun berharap kami mampu meningkat di Jerez nanti, kata pelumba berusia 21 tahun ini.
Pada perlumbaan di Jerez, Sepanyol tahun lalu, Zulfahmi yang ketika itu bernaung bersama pasukan AirAsia-Sic-Ajo KTM menamatkan perlumbaan di kedudukan ke-10.

Moto3: Zulfahmi loses his screws

KUALA LUMPUR : It has been a cause of concern for motorcycle rider Zulfahmi Khairuddin for the past six months but the “screws” are finally off.
Zulfahmi flew back from his training base in Spain last weekend to remove two titanium screws that have remained in his right wrist and hand since he crashed in the Grand Prix of Aragon last October.
The injury, which also aggravated his back, subsequently caused Zulfahmi to withdraw on race day at the Malaysian Grand Prix that same month.
Last year was definitely a year to forget for Zulfahmi after a promising Moto3 debut in April. He was 12th overall last season and picked up 58 points.
The removal of the screws comes just in time as he welcomes some changes in his career.
Zulfahmi, who has been riding KTM machines since 2011 under the Ajo Motorsport team, will switch to the Honda this year.
He will ride with Italian-based team Ongetta in Moto3 and will get full factory support from the team who ran FTR-Honda machines last season with Frenchman Alexis Masbou, Spain’s Isaac Vinales and Italy’s Matteo Ferrari.
“ I went for an operation to remove the two long titanium screws that were inserted when I injured my wrist.
“ I could have done it a week earlier but I had to wait for the screwdriver to arrive from Spain, where the surgery was done.
“ I don’t feel any pain in my hands now when I grip hard. Previously, it was bothering me a bit when I used a lot of pressure to grip.
“ The stiches will be off in two days and I am looking forward to getting on the bike after that, ” said Zulfahmi, who returns to Spain on Thursday to get ready for the Moto3 testing next week.
The 22-year-old said the learning process of riding a different bike with a new team will be good motivation for him.
“ It’s like a whiff of fresh air after a while of being in the same surroundings. You would want to make the best of it at a new place.
“ Although I will be with a new team, I won’t exactly be starting from scratch as my experience after years in the world championship (from 2010) will be a big help.
“ I’m still in the process of understanding the new bike and the more I ride it, the more I get to know how it works,” added the AirAsia-sponsored rider at the launch of the new Caterham Moto2 team.
The newest outfit in Moto2 revealed their 2014 World Championship colours – including title sponsorship from AirAsia, which is owned by Malaysian entrepreneur Tan Sri Tony Fernandes.
The team will be officially called “ AirAsia Caterham Moto Racing Team ” with American Superbike champion Josh Herrin and former 125GP title contender Johann Zarco of France as their riders for their maiden season.
The team have signed a chassis partnership with Suter and have lofty aims of challenging for the Moto2 championship.
“ The two-wheeled motorsport is a new venture for Caterham Group and one that we believe will be a long-term project. It is an exciting time for us and I would like to thank AirAsia for the opportunity.
“I t is great to see their development and commitment to the sport from initially supporting an event to their backing of Malaysian rider Zulfahmi.
“ The team is in high spirits and we hope to show our gratitude to AirAsia throughout the year by achieving good results, ” said team principal Mia Sharizman.
Caterham will make their track debut in red-and-white during the final pre-season test at Jerez from March 11-13.
