Adam Sterry in the top ten in both heats!
Adam Sterry managed to score well during the Asian Grand Prix under very warm weather conditions. The Kawasaki rider managed to finish eighth and tenth on the beautiful Semarang circuit. This placed the F&H Racing driver tenth in the daily rankings! In the championship standings, Adam rises to fourteenth place. Victory during the thirteenth GP of the season goes to Jorge Prado-Garcia, Pauls Jonass continues to hold the 'Redplate'.

In the first heat of the weekend, Adam gets off to a good start. The KX250F rider starts eighth out of the first corner, but after the first full lap the Brit has already worked his way up to fifth place. This leaves us wanting more and the pressure is increased on fourth man Cervellin. A nice fight ensues with the Italian and Vaessen. Rodrigues will also join later. After ten minutes Adam makes a mistake and Rodrigues takes over fifth place. It is 'close racing' and that brings the crowd to the benches. In the last minutes of this first heat, Rodrigues also manages to pass Cervellin, who then again comes under pressure from the Leatt-clad rider. Adam's drive is visible and he is looking for new lines to pass the Italian. Then the rear wheel slips and the Brit falls. This drops him back to eighth place, where he also finishes this first heat.

Adam also gets off to a good start in the second moto and manages to come out of the first corner in sixth position. However, in the first full lap he makes a mistake that causes him to crash and drop back to eleventh place. A little later, Jonass, who fell in the first corner, passes and Adam holds on to twelfth place for about ten minutes. Then the Australian Roberts is passed to later join Cervellin. Just like in the first moto, the duo has a nice battle and this time the Arai Helmets-supported rider manages to decide the duel in his favor. Adam takes over tenth place and can hold it until the finish flag. A boost for Adam, especially after the difficult initial phase of this season!
