TVS Racing talent Aishwarya Pissay will be competing in the FIM Bajas World Cup 2019 that will be held between March 7 and 9, in Dubai. This is the Sherco TVS rider's second international rally having made her debut in the Baja Aragon rally last year. Aishwarya will undergo a few days of training in the sand dunes of Dubai, leading up to Bajas World Cup. The TVS Racing rider will be participating as a privateer entry, competing on a non-TVS bike at the event. This is because the manufacturer does not have presence in Dubai but will remain her principal sponsor.
Aishwarya Pissay was the only female Indian rider to participate in the Baja Aragon Rally last year, and had an impressive run in her maiden outing finishing 77th at the end of the first stage. However, a nasty crash on the second day forced her to forfeit the rally, and had to undergo a surgery after rupturing her pancreas.
Aishwarya Pissay has proved her mettle in the Indian rallying circuit having competed in a number of championships in the country. The rider participated in the 2017 Raid de Himalaya, Indian National Rally Championship (INRC), Dakshin Dare as well as the TVS Apache Ladies One Make Championship. The Bajas World Cup will give the young rider the much needed exposure and experience to train for the gruelling Dakar rally, where Aishwarya aspires to compete.
