Former ‘Miss Thailand’ contestant Ananyalan Wattananupong ‘Pune’ took victory aboard her Suzuki GSX-R1000 in the opening round of the R2M Superbike Power Girls Professional WS-2 at the Thailand Circuit in the Nakhon Pathom Province.

The series, which is run in conjunction with the Thai Motorcycle Superbike Championship series, saw Ho Racing Team rider ‘Pune’ claim the top-step of the podium in the eight-lap race and take the lead in the championship with four rounds remaining.

Said Pune, who set the fastest race-time of 1:28.552 on her second lap: “This is my year (2559 B.E.) and 59 is also my number. I made some little changes to the bike in testing, and I did my best; the result is great.”
