Chennai: As the day 2 of 2022 MRF MMSC FMSCI Indian National Motorcycle Racing Championship Round 3 came to a close today, 20 next-gen millennial riders shined through on track with their power packed performances.
Today’s race of the IDEMITSU Honda Talent Cup NSF250R witnessed Pune’s Sarthak Chavan once again rising to victory with a massive lead of 22 seconds. Displaying his magic on the track, it was 14-year-old Mumbai teenager Raheesh Khatri who maintained his dominance and won the IDEMITSU Honda Talent Cup CBR150R race. After the end of Round 3, both Sarthak & Raheesh continue to reign as the championship leaders in NSF250R & CBR150 categories.
Speaking on round 3, Mr. Prabhu Nagaraj – Operating Officer, Brand & Communication, Honda Motorcycle & Scooter India. said, “We are extremely happy to see our young guns fight with such grit and glory. It is commendable that Sarthak and Raheesh continue to dominate the IDEMITSU Honda India Talent Cup NSF250R and CBR150R categories. Both the riders have showcased their true potential and I can see them soaring higher from here on. While it may not have been a favourable day for the team in the Pro-Stock 165cc category as our riders crashed out, we aren’t by any means deflated about the outcome. I am certain that our riders will take this as another learning and certainly rise to the occasion next time.”
Leading the charge of Honda in PS165cc class of national championship was ASK Honda racing’s Abhishek Vasudev who sprang from the bottom to battle among the top contenders. Intelligently cruising through the turns, Abhishek fought his hardest to close the race on the 4th place, earning valuable points for the team.
It was a hard day for the IDEMTISU Honda SK69 racing team. Veteran rider Rajiv Sethu had a good start but crashed out after lap 2 leading to his untimely dismissal from the race. Rajiv’s teammate Senthil Kumar had difficulties with the bike and retired early from the race.
