Sunday 14th April saw Spain’s best Supermoto racers descend upon the Chicharra Kart racing circuit at Villena in Alicante for round two of the Spanish Supermoto championship.
It was Britain’s Mat Ford-Dunn from Bullas in Murcia who put on a superb display of riding in both of the SM Master 35 races to clinch the overall victory.
With a large crowd watching the days racing Mat qualified his Supermotoland SML 450 race bike on the front row of the grid for the first of his two races. With a good start and a strong pace Mat was in a comfortable 2nd position before a small crash in the dirt section allowed the 3rd placed rider to catch him. But once underway again, Mat opened a gap and held it to the line to take 2nd position.
The Supermotoland race team briefed Mat on the grid for the 2nd of his two races and he knew exactly who he had to beat to gain the overall win. Mat’s start was not so good this time and he was locked in a 4 rider battle for the lead throughout the whole race and despite many overtaking attempts he was unable to pass the two riders in front without risking a crash, and finished a close third.
But Mat knew that was enough for the overall victory and made sure that he didn’t make any mistakes that might cost him the win.
Once the chequered flag dropped Mat was confirmed as the overall winner and took to the top step of the podium for the first time this year. Mat’s sponsors, Advance Moves International removals and Stratton Motorsports were delighted with the result and the many expat race fans that turned up to watch a great days racing.
Mat is next in action at Oliva in Denia on the 5th May for the 2nd round of the Valencian championship. Further details, race reports and videos can be found at the team’s website www.supermotoland.com
