Both the Ford-Dunn brothers were in dominant form at last weekends 4th round of the Spanish Supermoto championship held at Villena, Alicante.
The British brothers who live in Murcia had been training hard over the summer to make sure they were in top form for the final rounds of the season, and it showed with both brothers qualifying in 2nd position in their respective classes giving them a front row starting position for their races.
Anthony was the first to race in the prestigious SM Open class and secured the overall win for the day by taking a win and two second positions from his three races, beating the reigning Spanish champion Francesca Cucharera and former Spanish champion Israel Escalera.
Anthony’s last race was gripping as he fought through to 2nd position after a bad start that gave him enough points to take the overall victory.
Next out was older brother Mat who was racing in the SM Master 35 class. Mat finished a close 2nd in his first race and knew that to take the overall win and maintain his championship lead then a win in the 2nd race was the only option.
Before Mat had even lined up on the grid for the second race he was in trouble as the toll of racing in 30 degrees of heat on a rough track had given him chronic cramps in his arms and legs that made racing impossible. The start of the race was delayed slightly whilst mat was fed salt on the grid until the cramps subsided and racing could start.
Once the race started Mat found himself in third position with some work to do to get to the front, but he did just that with an outstanding effort that saw him dive down the inside of the leader to take the lead and the win on the last corner of the last lap. The 2-1 result gave him the overall win and both brothers stood on the top step of the podium at the end of the days racing.
Team Sponsor Shane Stratton from Stratton Motorsports had flown in to watch the days racing and was delighted with the double victory and the possibility of clinching the SM Master championship at the forth coming Albaida race.
With Mat now holding a 20 point lead in the SM Master 35 Spanish championship, he now has it all to play for in the final round of the Spanish championship to be held at Albaida, Alicante on the 2nd and 3rd November.
The Supermotoland Team and their sponsors, Advance Moves International Removals and Stratton Motorsports, will welcome anyone attending the event to support the brothers in their final race of the season to take championship honors.
