What is Supermoto?
by Carly Rathmell of Sportnetwork.net - May 24 2005

OK, think Moto-X, think Enduro, think Speedway and Road Racing and combine the four and that will give you a rough insight into Supermoto - one of the most entertaining forms of motor sport to hit the UK shores for a long time.

A sport that is steadily making itself a name throughout the country, it will soon be the talk on everyone's lips. One of the most enthralling sports to evolve in Europe in the last few years, it has been described as one of the most exciting forms of motor sport.

A combination of skill, fitness and pure insanity is what it takes for you to class as a top Supermoto rider. Combining the high speed of racing on track with the skill of tackling the roughest terrain, the ridersí ability is tested to the limit.

With a 70% based tarmac track and 30% based off-road section, this form of motorsport combines the love of Moto-Crossing and Enduro to the pure thrill factor of riding flat out on tarmac.
