Chennai, December 21: TVS Racing’s KY Ahamed from Chennai was declared rider champion in the premier Pro-Stock 301-400cc category of the MRF MMSC fmsci Indian National Motorcycle Racing Championship 2020 which concluded at the MMRT, on Sunday.
The result was withheld last evening due to a protest questioning the legality of a part (radiator) used in Ahamed’s motorcycle. The Race Direction, following a scrutiny of the vehicle, turned down the protest, declaring the part (radiator) legal and that the modification was in line with the prescribed technical regulations.
Chennai-based Ahamed, 23, who had two wins, finished with a tally of 121 points in the championship, just five ahead of Bengaluru’s Anish Damodar Shetty (Race Concepts). Shetty, 26, had four wins in eight starts, but drew blank in two races in the final round which cost him dear.
