Tanveer claims National supercross title

TVS Racing’s Abdul Wahid Tanveer clinched his first MRF Mogrip National Supercross Championship here on Sunday.

It was a successful day for TVS as reigning champion KP Aravind was victorious in both the races he participated on the day. The results also meant that Aravind ended as runner-up in the overall championship standings.

The Mangaluru lad edged his team-mate Tanveer in the Foreign Open Group A (upto 250cc/500cc) as well the Indian Expert Group B events but it still wasn’t enough to usurp Tanveer from the top.

In the International Open Class, Bryce Stewart from USA pipped Russians Tomin Igor and Vital Gusev to clinch the title.
