The team will cover a total of 800 km over the weekend in the gruelling race. In fact, this is Aravind's second run at Baja Aragon rally, having finished 21st overall last year.
The Baja Aragon will see the Sherco-TVS boys take on the the Teruel region on their RTR 450 rally bikes with two competitive stages. Teams will tackle a super special stage of 9.6 km on the first evening and then two longer selective sections of 216.80 km and 139.20 km on Saturday.

While Sherco-TVS will be putting its best efforts, there will be competition from established rivals from Honda, KTM, Yamaha and Husqvarna. The Sherco-TVS team had a positive run at the Merzouga Rally earlier this year and and are preparing for the 2018 Dakar.
