Shelina Moreda Wins For United States

#Petaluma's superbike racer Shelina Moreda reports that she placed first winning the Losail Asian Road Racing Series representing the U.S.

You may recall in June last year we interviewed Shelina in an article Herding cows on motorcycles to pro racing internationally: An interview with Shelina Moreda. This interview led to Ken Wayne anchor of KTVU channel 2 to interview her on the local news station.

Shelina Moreda reports today that she placed first winning the Losail Asian Road Racing Series representing the United States and breaks her personal record for fastest time on the Losail International Circuit in Qatar. She posts “I WON!” and was grateful hearing our national anthem playing for a woman winning in the middle east in a sport that is dominated by men.

Even though she stated having challenges with her bike setup she states that when they fix those issues she will even be able to go faster. She thanks all her supporters and credits her fans for contributing to her success.
