The Boxer has overcome challenges to stand out on the world stage after the historic run of the Philippine contingent in the recently concluded Tokyo Olympics. After his achievement, plenty of his dreams have come true and that included owning his dream bike which is the YZF-R6.
Yamaha also made sure Carlo was given the knowledge of basic safety riding of a big bike. Because it is a leap from riding the Sniper155 to the Big Bike category. To unlock the full potential of the motorcycle, he received exclusive training from Coach Joey Storm at the Clark Speedway.

These 2 athletes who have achieved so much this year will undoubtedly showcase more of their talent for years to come. And with every competition it will only bring more pride for each Filipino.
