The final Supermoto race of the year was held at Albaida, Alicante, over the weekend and produced some dramatic racing as all of the Spanish championship titles were up for grabs.
The Ford-Dunn brothers from Murcia have been in devastating form lately, with older brother Mat going into the last round with a 20 point lead in the SM Master 35 championship. Mat was taking no chances in both of his races, he knew that finishing 3rd in each race would be enough to win him the championship title.
The Racing was close with the top 3 riders all capable of winning the championship battling for the lead. The battle went down to the last corner of the last lap when the rider in 2nd position crashed causing Mat who was right behind him to stall his bike as he desperately tried to avoid the fallen rider.
The large crowd at the race fell silent as the race commentator went into overdrive describing the frantic action below him as both riders desperately tried to re-start their bikes. But it was Mat who kept his cool and fired his bike up first and raced to the finish line to take 2nd position in the race and give him a points lead that the others could not better, making him Spanish Champion for 2013.
Anthony Ford-Dunn was racing in the premier, SM Open championship with the championship title already out of his grasp due to him missing the first two races of the season his aim was to secure 4th position in the title standings. Fresh from his wins at the previous Spanish and Catalan championship rounds Anthony was in great form but the dusty low grip dirt section was favouring his competitors on the KTM machinery and he was struggling for grip on his Supermotoland Honda.
He battled hard and was one of three riders that fought for the win in each of his three races. He managed an impressive 3rd, 2nd and 3rd positions that gave him 3rd overall for the days racing and secured him 4th overall in the 2013 SM Open Spanish championship. A great days racing as he stood on the podium with the reigning Spanish Champion Francesco Cucharrera who had just secured his 5th Spanish Championship title
The Brothers and their sponsors ‘Advance Moves International removals’ and ‘Stratton Motorsports’ would like to thank the many race fans and supporters that turned up to the event and experienced a great days racing culminating in both Ford-Dunn Brothers finishing 2nd and 3rd on the podium and Mat clinching the SM Master 35 championship.
