KAWASAKI JBS Motocross Team’s Kenneth San Andres stamped his dominance once again in the fifth round of the 2016 NAMSSA National Motocross Development Program recently, ruling both the heats of the Pro 125 event at the Speedworld MX Circuit, SM Bicutan.

San Andres quashed the challenge of Korean Jun Hyeon Kim and Ralph Ramento in both races of the Pro 125 of the series held under the auspices of the National Motorcycle Sports and Safety Association.

The many-time awardee of the Philippine Sportswriters Association for motocross was in a zone in the Pro 125 as he controlled the pace from the get go in the first moto and set the pace the rest of the way, before repeating the trick in the second heat.

San Andres continued his dominance in the Pro Open as he controlled action from start to finish of the first race. He was in command of the second before a crash near the finish allowed his Korean rival to steal the win. 

“I had a great race in Round 5 of the series. I won first place overall in pro125/MX2 and first in Moto1 and fourth in Moto2 for a third-place overall finish in the Pro Open. Still thankful I got a place in that category because I accidentally crashed on a single jump before the finish line,” said San Andres.
