Friday’s third spot in the final round of motorcycling seals title with a race to spare
Jagan Kumar of TVS Racing finished third in the premier Pro-Stock 165cc race, but the 15 points were enough to fetch him his 10th National crown with a race to spare in the fifth and final round of the MRF-MMSC-FMSCI National motorcycle racing championships at the MMRT, here on Friday.
Bengaluru-based Anish Damodara Shetty (Race Concepts) astride a KTM 390, shrugged off a hip injury he suffered after a high-speed crash in the qualifying session a couple of hours earlier, to win a thrilling race in the Pro-Stock 301-400cc category that headlines the championship.
Also hogging the limelight was Thrissur’s Allwin Xavier (Sparks Racing) who won both the races in the Novice (Stock 165cc) category to move to third spot on the championship leaderboard.
