NATIONAL mountain-biking standout Ariana Evangelista proved she can dominate not just trails, but racetracks as well, sweeping five trophies in her return to competitive action—this time on a superbike.
Taking a break from mountain-bike competition, the former national team rider ventured into the high-speed world of superbikes and immediately made her mark at the final leg of the Ducati Cup, where she clinched multiple podium finishes.
Evangelista showcased her haul in a social media post, proudly holding the trophies from her impressive weekend performance.
In the Ducati Cup Final Leg, Evangelista emerged as the Leg 4 Rookie Champion and Leg 4 Women’s Class Champion, while also securing second place in the Leg 4 Supersport division.
Her weekend did not end there. She also joined the newly launched Supersports 600 race, where she continued her winning streak.
Evangelista claimed the Supersports 600 Women’s Champion trophy and capped her run with a third-place finish in the Novice Class.
The multi-sport athlete celebrated a personal milestone—shattering her previous best track time by a full five seconds.
“What’s crazy is I’ve finally beaten my previous personal best time by five seconds,” Evangelista wrote. “This really wouldn’t be possible without everyone who helped me get here. I could never do it alone, and it takes a great village to improve, to move forward, and to win. I didn’t have any confidence and trust in me, but because my village did, I am able to push through. I feel so lucky to have them and so grateful to have met them.”
Evangelista expressed gratitude to her support crew and partners, including Ducati Philippines, MPH2.0 Motorsports, WWR Manila/Ride United, Autoholic Racing Paddock Club, the Alberto family, her fellow competitors, and her partner Andre.
