Round five of the British Supermoto Championship held at Three Sisters Race Circuit, at last saw some decent weather, with both the Saturday afternoon qualifying and Sunday’s racing held in breezy, but otherwise almost perfect sunny conditions. Saturday qualifying was an amazingly close affair, with several riders heading the provisional leader board, until Sam Warren (SR Off-Road Aprilia SXV550) punched in a blinder of a lap just before the session close, to claim the overnight Pole Position. Coming on the heels of his overall victory at Teesside at round 4, it appeared that Warren had laid the gauntlet down to the rest of the field, but in the end, his weekend did not quite go to plan.
After two action-packed weekends almost back to back, the third weekend in the 'Summer of Sliding' takes place this weekend, the 28th & 29th July at Three Sisters Circuit near Wigan. Probably the most decisive weekend in terms of championship points, Round 5 of the 2007 British Supermoto Championship looks certain to live up to the previous rounds in terms of 'no quarter given', bar to bar action whatever the weather!
