Team TVS Racing’s K.P. Aravind and Abdhul Wahid Tanveer are gearing up for the PanAfrica Rally 2018, to be held in Morocco from 8 to 15 September. The PanAfrica Rally, characterised by technical, fast and sandy tracks, is designed to test road-book navigation.
K.P. Aravind, who has recovered after sustaining an injury at Dakar 2018, said at a press conference here on Thursday, “This is my first event after the injury. I’m excited to be back on the bike. When you make a comeback from an injury, you doubt yourself. But over time, it gets normal and muscle memory comes back. The fighting spirit is there.”
Tanveer, who finished third in the Group A (upto 450cc) category at the India Baja 2018 held earlier this month, said. “The bikes we use (RTR 450) are heavier, because they need to hold more petrol. It has a higher stance too, so it requires a different riding style.
