Bengaluru-based Anish Damodara Shetty (Race Concepts) pulled off a well-deserved win, his first of the season, in the premier Pro-stock 301-400cc category as the second round of the MRF MMSC FMSCI National motorcycle racing championships concluded at the MMRT here on Sunday.
Also posting his maiden win of the 2021 season was Deepak Ravikumar who led a 1-2 finish for TVS Racing in the Pro-stock 165cc with championship leader Jagan Kumar ahead of Idemitsu Honda SK69 Racing’s Senthil Kumar.
Crashing out
In the groove: Deepak Ravikumar rode to his maiden win of the season.
Rajini, the winner of three consecutive races, crashed at the last corner on the sixth lap of the Pro-stock 301-400cc soon after surviving a contact on the back sweep with Deepak Ravikumar.
Despite the poor result, Rajini continues to occupy the top spot in the championship stakes with 75 points while Anish Shetty (63) moved to the second position followed by Rahil Shetty (58).
