Grand Prix racer Gary McCoy was seen racing at a Supermotard Challenge meeting in Queensland in early December last year. The recent Kawasaki signing, rode a Kawasaki KX500 to 2^nd and 3^rd places in 2 classes. King of slide McCoy is said to regularly hone his technique on big motocrossers on tarmac.

Aussie mag Australian Motorcycle News rated the Australian World Supermoto round as there worst promoted meeting. ‘…crowd figures were woeful…’ they said. ‘Lucky the racing itself was top notch’ was the only positive comment made re the November event. Kiwi’s who attended said that the  Suzuki and Bike Mart (plug, plug) events run first up would have shown it up.

It’s on again Bike Mart is running a Supermoto day at Centennial Park Taupo. So put it on your calendar now Saturday 5 April.

Craig Flood traveled down to the Port Nelson Street races and managed to take out the motard and F3 classes and get runner up in F2.
