Chennai, Mar 28 (UNI) The Chennai-Puducherry combination
of Soorya PM and Navneeth Kumar rode a smart, tactical
race to annex the overall title in the TVS Eurogrip MMSC
Motorcycle Endurance Race at the MMRT, here on Sunday.
The pair also topped the Pro-Stock 301-400cc category
while completing 55 laps over two hours.
Finishing second a minute in arrears were pole-sitters
from Hyderabad Satyanarayana Raju and Sahil Shetty
though they also completed 55 laps, while the team
of Abhimanyu Gautam and Anand R finished third with
54 laps.
Anfal A and Subramani Gandan, completing 52 laps, won
in the Stock 165cc category, restricted to those under
15 years of age, while Lani Zena Fernandez and Arpitha
Bhat emerged champions in the Girls (TVS Apache RTR
200), completing 48 laps.
A big disappointment was the retirement of experienced
pair of Rajini Krishnan and Sarath Kumar who packed up
after 39 laps.
The pair led initially, but was docked a ride through penalty
after Rajini, going out first, rode for 46 minutes instead of
permitted 45. It effectively ended their challenge.
