Post this; the riders were given a sighting lap around the track so that they could get a feel of the track layout after which the instructors did a demonstration lap. Now it was time to race and after some intriguing racing action that was enjoyed to the core by the spectators gathered, the podium finishers were felicitated.

Orange days are being conducted in every major city and will keep on growing in scale in the next few months.
