The Supermoto emotional pictures.
SUPERMOTO
2014
Supermoto is a relatively young motorcycle discipline, but with very attractive racing, where sports and entertainment come together to generate competitions of the highest level. The races take place on tracks consisting of asphalt and dirt . The riders must have the ability to compete both on the asphalt and on the dirt, even the fastest riders of other disciplines such as MotoGP and Superbike practice Supermoto to improve their skills. Normally races are held on permanent tracks, but sometimes non-permanent circuits are used , of course in compliance with the safety rules, to bring this discipline closer to the spectators. One of the most attractive features is the long sliding (slip) that motorcycles make at the end of the straights to facilitate their entry into the turn. The major European and Japanese motorcycle manufacturers produce specific motorcycles that, in the homologated road use version, are nimble and easy to use both in the city and along the roads. The World Championship, held in about ten Grand Prix in different countries, collects riders from 16 countries and culminates with the “Supermoto of Nations�, a world championship for nations, with the participation of national teams from 18 different countries. This discipline, appreciated all over the world, is growing quickly, and soon events will be held in South America and Asia. Media sector, magazines, national and international sports television networks report the chronicle of events and transmit images of events creating a large audience among spectators and also generating a very important turnover in the locations where the events are held.
