Malaysian Cub Prix 2025 Round 10 - Iskandar Putri
Malaysian Cub Prix 2025 Round 10 - Iskandar Puteri
Medini Madness, Podium Drama & A Champion’s Perfect Send-Off
Iskandar Puteri’s Medini circuit isn’t here to make friends. Tight walls, technical corners, and sweltering heat combined to turn the season finale of the PETRONAS MAM Malaysian Cub Prix Championship into a pressure cooker from the first warm-up lap to the final chequered flag. The crowd packed the fencing, the atmosphere was electric, and every rider came out swinging for one last statement of the year.
This was Cub Prix at its rawest: loud, close, emotional, and unforgiving. Exactly how a finale should be.
CP150 – Nazirul’s Sweet Redemption & Afif’s Champion Composure
The CP150 class rolled out with an energy you could feel through the ground. Ahmad Afif Amran, already crowned the 2025 CP150 Champion, started the weekend like a man determined to end the year on his terms — taking pole position with a lap that reminded the paddock why consistency and calm won him the title.
But if Afif was the season’s backbone, Nazirul Izzat Md Bahauddin was its heart. After missing early rounds due to double clavicle surgery, this was his chance to close the book properly.
When the lights went out, Afif got away strong, but Nazirul shadowed him immediately, reading every line and waiting for the smallest crack. Behind them, Afif’s teammate Md Akid Aziz stormed into contention, keeping the pressure high and turning the opening laps into a three-man knife fight.
By lap three, Nazirul made his move — a clinical pass that stuck with zero hesitation. From there, he settled into a brutal, consistent rhythm while Akid and Afif swapped roles behind him like a pair of synchronised hammers.
The closing laps were pure tension. One mistake would’ve reshuffled the podium instantly. But when the chequered flag dropped, Nazirul held on:
CP150 Podium – Round 10 (Official)
🥇 Nazirul Izzat Md Bahauddin – PETRONAS Sprinta Yamaha Maju Motor
🥈 Md Akid Aziz – PETRONAS Sprinta Yamaha CKJ Racing
🥉 Ahmad Afif Amran – PETRONAS Sprinta Yamaha CKJ Racing
A perfect ending to a rollercoaster season:
– A champion showing championship composure,
– A teammate proving his podium credentials, and
– A comeback rider finishing the story he refused to abandon.
CP125 – Flat-Out Fury, Slipstream Chaos & the Usual Heart Attacks
(Official results not yet published at time of writing – updated based on standings context and race observations.)
If CP150 was about precision, CP125 was pure adrenaline. The slipstream trains were ridiculous — long, chaotic, and fast enough to make the fencing vibrate. Every lap felt like someone had hit fast-forward.
Championship protagonists Md Izam Ikmal Izamli and Md Syamil Amsyar Md Iffende were once again at the heart of the battle. Izamli carried his trademark aggression into the finale, attacking braking zones like they owed him money. Syamil responded with clean, calculated moves, never letting the pressure off for more than half a lap.
The midfield pack? Utter carnage in the best possible way. Six to eight riders swapping places every corner, the kind of racing that makes you hold your breath behind the viewfinder.
While the final finishing order is pending official release, the style of the race was unmistakable:
Fast. Messy. Smart. Brave.
Everything that has made CP125 the highlight for so many fans this season.
Wira KBS – Youth, Heart & Heroic Saves
The Wira class brought its usual brand of teenage chaos and ambition. Riders pushed the limit at every turn, leaning into corners like physics was a suggestion.
One near-highside save in the final laps had the crowd — and half the paddock — shouting in disbelief. Talent in this category is maturing fast, and Iskandar Puteri proved once again that the future of Malaysian racing is in very, very good hands.
Atmosphere – The Pure Soul of Cub Prix
Iskandar Puteri delivered exactly what makes Cub Prix special:
Fans pressed against the mesh barriers from sunrise
Flags, horns, cheers, and kids on shoulders
Mechanics sprinting through the paddock with tools in their mouths
Two-stroke haze drifting between food stalls
Riders thanking supporters over the fence after every session
Medini always feels like a street festival grew an engine room — and Round 10 was no exception.
Final Thoughts – A Season Wrapped, a Legacy Built
Round 10 didn’t just end the 2025 season.
It summarised it:
A champion in Afif who won with consistency, intelligence, and nerve
A warrior in Nazirul who refused to let injury dictate his story
Rising stars in CP125 and Wira pushing the sport into its next era
Fans who show up rain or shine, turning every venue into a stadium
The chequered flag might have fallen, but the energy of this season is going to linger for a long time.
And as always, CheekyMoto will be there next year — sunscreen melting, lenses fogging, chasing underbone fury from one corner to the next.
