Mathana Kumar and Rajini Krishnan win the Indian National Motorcycle Racing Championship 2022

In the fifth and final round of the MRF MMSC FMSCI Indian National Motorcycle Racing Championship 2022, Rajini Krishnan, Jagruti Penkar, Mathana Kumar, and Sarvesh Balappa won the titles.

Rajini (RACR Castrol Power 1) sealed the championship at fourth place in the premier Pro-Stock 301-400cc open category. Mathana Kumar (Pacer Yamaha) finished fourth for his third title in 11 years and topped the Pro-Stock 165cc Open class.

Jagruti of Axor Sparks Racing, a 21-year-old Science graduate from Mumbai, finished on 81 points and won the Girls Championship (Stock 165cc), whereas Ann Jennifer of Alpha Racing finished at 80.

Until the scrutiny, after the race leads to disqualification, Jagruti was second behind Ann Jennifer in the championship. However, after Lani was disqualified, the situation turned its head. Tyhana Bee of Pacer Yamaha moved to first, Jagruti pushed to second, Aditi Krishnana to third, and An Jennifer finished sixth. 

Sarvesh Balappa of Axor Sparks Racing, who took an unassailable lead to come into the final round, ended up in fourth place. His team-mates Kayan Zubin Patel came first and Rohan Ramesh second ahead of Chiranth Vishwanath of Rookies Racing. 

Rajini did the same in the Pro-Stock 301-400cc Open race as he followed a trio of Petronas TVS Racing, Jagan Kumar, KY Ahamed, and Deepak Ravikumar. Ahamed completed the double.

Rajini had the best lap of the race and said, “I needed one point to win, so I avoided taking any chance. I was happy staying behind the TVS boys at the fourth position.”

Jagan, too, had a brilliant Pro-Stock 165cc Open race that he won ahead of Rajiv Sethu and Senthil Kumar of Idemitsu Honda India SK69 Racing for a grand double. 

Two youngsters, Chiranth Vishwanath from Bengaluru and Raheesh Mudassar Khatri from Mumbai, created a lot of buzzes when they won all ten races this season. Chiranth competed in the Rookie category of the Petronas TVS One-Make Championship, and Raheesh competed in the Novice (CBR 150) class of the Idemitsu Honda India Talent Cup.
