Club200 tipped to rule Jariels Peak challenge

THREE bike category champions backstop the Club200 team vying in the 2nd Jariels Peak Uphill Climb Challenge in the mountains of Marifanta in Quezon province this weekend.

The Ducati-backed team, headed by Francis Feliciano, is again seeking the King of the Mountain (KOM) award.

In last year’s races, Nikki Romero ruled the sportbike class and clinched the KOM plum in a Ducati Panigale, Miguel Bichara topped the naked class in a Ducati Monster, and Hubert Soriano dominated the adventure class in a Ducati Multistrada.

Joining the three champions in this year’s hill-climb event are Rey Relativo, John Smith, Richie Soriano, Ren Sy and Ducati owner Toti Alberto.

Club200’s Joby Tanseco will vie in the sportcar category of the event, organized by Adventure Team Philippines (ATP), in his Mercedez Benz AMG A45.
