COIMBATORE , MAR 06,
She braved an injury that she suffered last year in Spain and has now come back strongly to take part in her second international event, the FIM Bajas World Cup opener, to begin with a ceremonial flag off in Dubai on Thursday.
The Bengaluru-based Aishwarya, sponsored by TVS Racing, Mountain Dew, Scott Motorsports India and Big Rock Dirt Park, will be competing in the 450cc, women and junior categories, astride a non-TVS bike.
The event has attracted over 100 riders from 25 countries. The 23-year-old was injured in a crash in the Spanish Baja and was out of action for nearly six months.
Exciting start
“This is an exciting start to my international racing season. I have been training really hard over the last few weeks in the sand dunes, which has been a tremendous learning experience.
“I am thankful to my sponsors for believing and supporting my dreams to represent India on the global motorsport stage,” she said.
Aishwarya has been training at the Big Rock track run by ace cross-country rider C.S. Santosh, on the outskirts of Bengaluru, for some time.
She also went in advance to Dubai to train on the sand dunes.
