2021 MotoGP: Hafizh rides for NTS RW Racing GP

Reaching the end of the 2020 Moto 2 season with Angel Nieto Team, Malaysian motorcycle racer Hafizh Syahrin has signed to ride for NTS RW Racing GP. Hafizh will compete in the Moto 2 class fur the Dutch racing team with team mate 16-year old Belgian Barry Baltus.

“We are proud and happy to have signed Hafizh, who is not only an experienced and talented rider, but also a very kind and nice person”, says NTS RW Racing GP team manager Jarno Janssen. “… we are still developing the bike. The input and feedback of a rider like Hafizh is very important in that process,” Janssen said.

Hafizh welcomed the new contract, saying he was pleased to continue competing in Moto 2 with NTS RW Racing GP. “I know how much effort it takes to develop a new bike, but I believe in this project. NTS and the team have improved the bike a lot in a relatively short time, step by step. I hope that, with my experience and feedback, we can make big steps,” said Hafizh.

RW Racing GP was founded by businessman Roelof Waninge from The Netherlands, taking over the assets of Dutch 125 cc and 250 cc motorcycle racing team owned by fellow countryman Arie Molenaar in 2011. RW Racing competes in Moto 2 in a technical partnership with Japanese chassis builder NTS.

    He better be consistently on top of his 16-years old teammate or else he should just give up competing in MotoGP.

    Communication is everything in the development game. Hafizh needs to state every nuance and issue with the bike to make sure it works flawlessly. Meaning it goes fast and is precise yet forgiving. The word is the bike ‘flows’ on the circuit. This is where experience counts over raw talent.

    does hafizh realise what KTM had achieved this year?
    why couldnt he so last year. whats all the rumbling about KTM bike has no grip, no power. if he is a good racing rider, he can tune the bike to go fast any track. casey stoner did it with ducati, nicky hayden with repsol honda in 06. vinales with suzuki in 2016.

    • Last year even Zarco gave up mid season. So Hafizh is not the only one having problems.
