Malaysian riders struggle to tame Phillip Island

Far from ideal: SIC Racing Team rider Adam Norrodin will start the Australian Grand Prix Moto3 race from 22nd on the grid today.

PETALING JAYA: Hafizh Syahrin Abdullah has his work cut out as he bids to overcome his far from impressive record in the Australian Motorcycle Grand Prix at Phillip Island.

The 23-year-old Malaysia could only manage 23rd fastest in the Moto2 qualifying yesterday in 1:35.068.
