MRF National Supercorss Championship 2015 Pune

Championship leader Aravind K.P rode flawlessly through the challenging track created for the Pune International Supercross event as he won both Motos to firm-up his chances for the Overall title in the MRF MOGRIP FMSCI National Supercross championship,

The TVS Racing’s star rider Aravind rode his TVS RTR200 through the short double table tops and hairpin turns befitting his calibre to win the first SX1 Moto in the Group A Class 1 category.

Following him was Pune’s Rugved Barguje in the second place and Abdul Wahid Tanveer in the third place, in a TVS Racing sweep.

Barguje, who suffered a bad fall in the Asian championship final in Indonesia early this month that led to hospitalization, showed great courage to recover from his concussions and minor injuries and take part in the home championship.

In Moto 2 though Barguje finished third, but his effort should ensure him overall third position when the championship concludes in Bengaluru next week.

Aravind won the Moto 2 to grab full points that swelled his total points tally to 180, while his nearest challenger Tanveer earned 32 from the Pune round for an aggregate of 151.

With 29 points separating the two, only a DNF for Aravind in Bengaluru on December 5 would deny him the overall title, which otherwise looks sealed for the Mangalore rider.
