Five Times Raid-de-Himalaya Champion Ashish Moudgil Shares his story with Motoroids

In the history of Raid de Himalaya this was the 1st time that anybody won the overall 1st prize in the extreme bikers category 4 times in a row. This year my lead over the KTM 450 in 2nd position was 1hr 49min 18 secs highest ever recorded.

This year for the 1st time biker made faster time than a 4×4 Gypsy and claimed the 1st flag-off  in the Raid de Himalaya. I was 9 min 47sec faster than the 4×4 Gypsy.

This was possible only by the help of Red Rooster Racing and the training they provide including all types of terrains such as sand, Rocky, slush, gravel, tarmac, Ice etc.

My plan for the near future is to train and prepare for the foreign events, the targeted events are Australasian Safari (3000km), Baja500 (800km), Baja1000 (1600km), Redbullromaniacs and finally DAKAR (13000km)

The 2 Issues I faced in Indian motorsports is :-

The total expenditure to race on a foreign bikes in an event like Raid de Himalaya goes to 13 lacs but the prize money is just Rs 50,000 which gets taxed and left is merely Rs30,000 which is peanuts for anybody.

The cost of owning a foreign bike is too high even for the rich. The only way out is possible with the support of Indian Govt. If the Govt. agrees to wave-off or reduce the import duty on the special purpose race machines only for sportsperson, than things may workout.
