Mangulabnan bags 2 crowns in Superbikes

FINALLY proving his worth, Marvin Mangulabnan captured two titles in the fourth leg of the 2016 Pirelli Superbikes Series at Clark International Speedway in Pampanga recently.

The BMW Racing Team standout reigned supreme in the  pre-final and final races to clinch the Superbikes Open and Expert crowns in the race that is part of the 2016 Philippine Motorsports Championship series.

Mangulabnan recovered from a sloppy start, overtaking TJ and Troy Alberto on his way to clocking 18 minutes and 48.601 seconds in the nine-lap race. Mangulabnan also registered the fastest laptime of 1:51.894.

Kawasaki bet Dashi Watanabe finished three seconds behind Mangulabnan to settle for second place in the race sanctioned by the Superbikes Racing Association.
