IN order to send a message to the riders that motorcycle racing should be reserved for the race track and not on the streets, motorcycle ride-hailing app service Angkas announced during Inside Racing Bike Fest last March that the company will enter motorcycle racing, sponsoring Filipino riders such as TJ Alberto, Troy Alberto and EJ Sobretodo to represent the Philippines in international motorcycle racing competitions.

'Right now, we are sponsoring TJ, Troy and EJ. Coincidentally, EJ's father is a hardworking Angkas rider-partner. Angkas will be providing financial support to sustain the needs of these three top-caliber riders in global racing competitions,' Angkas Chief Executive Officer George Royeca said in a statement.
