Tanveer second despite a fall; Aishwarya wins Ladies Class
He looked dazed and dizzy at the start but once on the RTR450 bike and the dusty terrain R.E. Rajendra of Team TVS Racing mesmerised all with his daring run to emerge the overall winner of the fifth round of the FMSCI Indian National Rally Championship MRF MOGRIP 2W Rally of Coimbatore in Kethanur, near Palladam, on Sunday.
Rajendra started the season with a bang but went out of control in the last two rounds. His teammate Abdul Wahid Tanveer cashed in on the chance and moved to the top of the table. He was expected to further widen the gap at the top, but Rajendra, despite the odds, was there to deny him.
Rajendra enjoyed a five-second edge over Tanveer after the first two stages. The latter fought back in the final stretch but it was a bit too late.
