Earlier, the shy-yet-optimistic Paz told Carmudi Philippines that he would be working double time to get a good placing as this would be his first time to compete in the said division.

"All of them already know who to watch out for. But for me, I'm relatively the youngest in 600cc category, so I'm looking out for everyone out there," Paz said.
