Horsey hampered on home rally

Written by Fabien Kornél

27 year old Peter Horsey lost out on a sensational podium position on his home rally when the Mombasa born rally driver lost time with both a broken suspension strut and a puncture! Peter redeemed himself by taking a pair of stage wins on his way to fifth overall in his Civicon backed Mitsubishi Evo 9.

Peter, co-driven by Ugandan based Dez Page-Morris, had high hopes entering this rally. A rough section on the longest stage of the rally, a 59 kilometre test, saw Peter damage a front suspension component, costing him over a minute to his rivals. Despite this, as the rally reached the half way point Peter, the current African representative in the Pirelli Star Driver scheme, was pleased to be placed third overall.

The penultimate section of the rally was a repeat of the 59 kilometre stage but when Peter picked up a puncture half way through this difficult test he had no option but to stop and change wheels. This time loss dropped him back to fifth overall, and even a fastest stage time on the final test could not make up such a huge time loss.

Once again a puncture ruined my rally but we were not alone amongst the front runners to have tyre issues. The route was very technical and over half the field retired with various problems, so just to finish was an achievement. I’m pleased with how my notes worked and it was great to get some top times on my home event!

Peter will next compete on the final round of the World Rally Championship, Wales Rally GB. The Cardiff based event takes place in mid November and will be the sixth and final round of Peter’s 2010 World Rally Championship program.

Satria Muda Coach Plans to Spread Minutes in KL

Jakarta - If Satria Muda Britama hopes to avoid a second defeat in the Asean Basketball League when it travels to Kuala Lumpur over the weekend, the Jakarta club will have to work out its trust issues.

Satria Muda fell 94-93 to the Singapore Slingers last week, the loss highlighting the club’s odd coaching tactics more than its players’ performance.

New head coach Ocky Tamtelahitu opted to keep his rookies on the bench for much of the ABL opener, and relied heavily on a six-man rotation.

Veteran guard Mario Wuysang, the lone holdover from the squad that finished runner-up last season, was the only Indonesian to log heavy minutes.

Center Doni Ristanto, one of the rookies, played just a minute.

Ocky said he was not confident that the team’s newcomers “were ready,” but acknowledged that his decision to rely on just six players took a toll on them.

“It was my choice. I didn’t think most of my players were ready,” he said on Friday.

“I want to give them more time to adjust. I know they’ll be ready as we play more games, and I’ll be more comfortable using them when that time comes.”

Ocky said he planned to expand his rotation to include Doni, Ryan Febrian and Fattah Arifin against Kuala Lumpur’s Westsports Dragons.

But he is still inclined to rely on his imports, notably American forward Marcus Morrison and Filipino guard Francis Adriano, to lead the team.

The Dragons lost their ABL opener on the road, 79-74 to the Chang Thailand Slammers.

Filipino guard Rudy Lingganay scored a team-high 30 points for the Dragons, but Slammers forward Chris Kuete scored nine of his 31 points in overtime to give Chang the win. (Wimbo Satwiko)

Pagunsan Has Perfect Start in Mercedes-Benz Indonesia

Juvic Pagunsan took the first-round lead in the Mercedes-Benz Masters Indonesia on Wednesday to make the perfect start in his bid to finish the year ranked No. 1.

The Filipino carded an eight-under-par 64 at Emeralda Golf and Country Club to take the lead ahead of Thailand’s Borwon Chaisri, who shot 66.

The $80,000 tournament is the last of the season on the Mercedes-Benz Tour, and Pagunsan heads the Order of Merit with earnings of $22,450.

Pagunsan claimed the Mercedes-Benz Masters Thailand in June by seven strokes and carded a flawless round on Wednesday, making eight birdies.

He played the front nine in five under helped by three birdies in a row from the second.

He also made three on the trot from the 14th.

“That was one of my best rounds of the year. I did not put a foot wrong,” Pagunsan said.

Indonesian No. 1 Rory Hie, whose sole victory since turning professional came in the 2008 International Championship on the Mercedes-Benz Tour, shot an even-par 72.

Rory made an eagle in the par-5 seventh hole and a birdie in the 17th, but hit bogeys in the first, fifth and 15th holes to finish the day tied at 18th with seven others.

Burhan Bora and Johannes Dermawan had the next best score in the Indonesian field coming in at joint 26th with a 73.

In a rare treat for the crowd, two players recorded aces. Thai Atthaphon Prathummanee had a hole in one on the 16th while his countryman Philip Matsson, an amateur, aced the fourth.

Thailand’s Pinsawat Pariwat, the youngest of all amateurs at the age of just 13, fired a very respectable 73. 

Leading first round scores (par 72):

64 - Juvic Pagunsan (PHI)

66 - Borwon Chaisri (THA)

68 - Namchok Tantipokhakul (THA), Antonio Lascuna (PHI). Wittawat Sae-ung (THA), Artemio Murakami (PHI)

69 - Nicholas Fung (MAS), Wisut Artjanawat (THA), Panuwat Muenlek (THA), Mohd Sukree Othman (MAS), Ferdie Aunzo (PHI), Pawin Ingkhapradit (Am) (THA), Atthaphon Prathummanee (THA)
