Q. Who was your inspiration?
A. I am inspired by my family who are national level motocross racers. My father, Gnyaneshwar Barguje, better known as Bala, is a former national motocross champion and winner of the Shiv Chhatrapati Sports Award. My uncle Vijay Barguje and my cousins, Yogesh and Vishal, are also top motocross racers. They inspired me and even rider Aravind KP is my inspiration. I want to take forward my family’s legacy. I entered in 2013 and I have won in many different cities like Nashik, Pune, Bengaluru and Kolhapur so far.

Motocross is a form of off-road motorcycle racing
