Following closely in the wheel tracks of the last event at Lydden Hill just over a week ago, Round 4 of the British Supermoto Championship supported by Round 5 of the National Supermoto Championship, both take place this coming weekend; the 14th/15th July, at Teesside Autodrome near Middlesbrough. Young Australian hope Joe Harvey aboard a Halsion Lincoln Aprilia SXV550 is the only wild card scheduled to join the 28 permanent riders for this round of the series and Harvey will be hoping that his second outing as a wildcard will bear more fruit than his debut at Lydden Hill, which was dogged by machine troubles and ever-changing, non-Australian type weather conditions, which never really allowed the young Aussie charger to get into his stride.
After two action packed events already this year, July sees a glut of Supermoto action with no less than three rounds of this year’s series within four weeks. To kick off an exciting ‘Summer of Sliding’, next weekend, 30th June / 1st July sees competitors making their way to the famous Lydden Hill Circuit near Canterbury in Kent, for round 3 of the British and Round 4 of the National Championships respectively. Teesside Autodrome then follows on the 14th/15th July and the busy Summer period finishes at Three Sisters on the 28th/29th July with a short break before events continue in August.
