Coimbatore: Team TVS riders C.S. Santosh and K.P. Arvind from Bangalore struck a double each in the second round of the MRF National supercross championship near the Codissia Trade Fair Complex here on Sunday.

Santosh, who played it safe in the season's opener, rediscovered his form to win the foreign (Group A, 250-450cc) and the Indian (Group B 80-150cc) classes with relative ease.

Much was expected from Karan Kadam, the championship leader, but he failed to deliver.

The track turned out to be tight and twisty but the 23-year-old Santosh held his grip on the curves and the straights, which made all the difference.

Santosh, who had the crowd spellbound with his jumps on the tabletops, also walked away with the `Best Rider of the Day' award.

The results:

Class 1: Indian Experts (Foreign motorcycles):

Group `A': 1. C.S. Santosh (TVS Bangalore), 2. Karan Kadam (TVS Bangalore), Yogesh Barguje (Honda CR450 Pune). Class 2: Group B: 80-150cc: 1. C. S. Santosh, 2. Rustom Patel (Mumbai), 3.
