PETALING JAYA: Hafizh Syahrin Abdullah feels he has come to grips with the new NTS Japanese-made bike he has been using in the Moto2 world championship.

Hafizh, the only Malaysian flagbearer in the world championship, gave his best showing after four rounds when he finished 17th in the Spanish Grand Prix at Jerez Circuit on Sunday despite starting from the second last row.
