National rider Glenn Aguilar showed he still is a force to reckon with as he came up with an impressive showing in the first heat of the MS Motosuit-Night Supercross Challenge, which kicked off last Friday night in Consolacion town, northern Cebu.
Using his KTM bike, Aguilar, an image model of MS Motosuit Stores, emerged the overall leader in the prestigious expert open and pro-open categories.
