Aaron (12) and Jaden (13) kept the Sri Lankan flag flying high after they reached the final round, becoming the youngest riders to represent a country.

The Gunawardena brothers who put Sri Lanka on top of championship in first round in Japan could not keep up the momentum in Thailand owing to an accident and injury and ended up fifth. However the accumulated points from round one places Sri Lanka in the second position points wise, and the young brothers would need another podium finish or even a fourth place in the curtain closer in Taiwan in order to secure a slot in the championship.
