Rugved Barguje emerges best rider of Round 2 as Petronas TVS Racing team dominates in Pune

Pune: Pune’s former National champion Rugved Barguje mastered the 700-meter-long challenging track to win both races in the topmost Class 1 Category and emerged the best rider of the weekend evening in the second round of the MRF MOGRIP National Supercross championship held at the open ground next to the passport office in Mundhwa.

Rugved’s performance inspired Petronas TVS Racing team riders to do their best as they dominated most of the categories that will go in the long way to boost the team’s championship hopes when the season nears its end.

On a balmy evening, as the track was still being watered before the start of the evening extravaganza, Rugved took the sighting lap gingerly to access the track properly and once the Class 1 race began, he was the first to take the lead over his seasoned compatriot C D Jinan. The two kept themselves in the race avoiding making any nasty manoeuvres, especially on the section comprising, a 10 whoop de doos.

Barguje, who has come back into competitive action after recovering from s major crash during Covid period while practising, collected full 40 points to add to the 37 points he earned in the first round in Nashik.
