The 2nd Leg of the Yamaha Grand Prix was a heated showdown in Cebu. The scorching weather was only an appetizer for the blistering battle of the evening. Riders from regions of Luzon, Visayas, Mindanao, and Wildcards looked to unseat ‘The Chairman’ Masato Fernando from his dominance in the 150 Open UB Category. J.E Inguito, Bornok Mangosong, and McKinley Kyle Paz, were worthy contenders as they fought their way to the top. But Masato could not be denied and cruised to the finish line to strengthen his dominance over the category.
