Malaysian trio, Norizuan Abdullah, Chan Kiang Wei and Mohd Zulfakar bin Mohd Alghaus, recently completed the BMW Motorrad International GS Trophy 2020 at 18th place. They ending up pushing through the first half to place above Team India, and Team North Africa, among others.

This year’s BMW Motorrad International GS Trophy 2020 pitted 23 teams of 40 different nationalities against each other on a 3,000-kilometre adventure. This was the seventh edition of the motorcycle competition which spanned eight days. The competition featured multiple challenges, which took riders across the scenic landscapes of both the North and South Islands of New Zealand.

Owen Riley, Head of BMW Motorrad Malaysia meanwhile said, “What a ride the past weeks have been at the BMW Motorrad International GS Trophy 2020 as well as on our BMW Motorrad social media channels. Our three local riders managed to push the boundaries to show what Malaysians can achieve as a team in their very first outing at the trophy. This truly is the spirit and camaraderie that International GS Trophy aims to create!”

Norizuan Abdullah, member of Team Malaysia said, “It is a huge achievement for us to represent Malaysia in the International GS Trophy this year. Even though we had a bumpy start, we worked hard and came out better riders. I believe this is what the GS is about, bringing people together through the thrill of the ride, despite the challenges we have to face. It takes true grit to make it to the finish line and I am so proud we did it. Thank you for believing in us, Malaysia!”
