Tough Fall For Thriller in Sepang 💔

The Sepang round of the 2024 MotoGP season was a stark reminder of the immense risks that motorcycle riders undertake every time they buckle up and go racing, with the opening lap collision involving Thriller an example of such 💔

Fortunately, with partners like Alpinestars, who place rider safety at the forefront of their philosophy, and have a relentless approach to innovation, Thriller got up and walked away from the incident 💪

It was a weekend of promise building from a top-five result achieved at the previous round, with Thriller earning a direct entry into Q2 after the practice sessions concluded, signalling comfort aboard his RC16.

The Sprint Race would feature equal success, even with a start device that didn’t unlock until turn two. This caused a swarm of riders to make passes on the #43, however, a spirited comeback resulted in a solid P8 result.

Shifting focus to the Feature Race, it was going well until it wasn’t. A tangle out of turn one and into turn two left Thriller in an ugly position, with the Australian left with a DNF once the dust settled.

The highs and lows of motorsport are a real thing, with incidents all part of the journey and something that is a given in this line of sport. It speaks to the warrior mentality of the athletes, with Thriller bouncing back and showing a true display of resilience and determination.
