Second half of the season kicks off for the Supermotoland Brothers.

After the summer break the Supermoto racing brothers from Murcia have had a hectic few weeks with both the Catalan and Spanish championship races in quick succession. First stop was Mora d’ebre in Catalunya for the 5th round of the Catalan championship where Anthony Ford-Dunn finished 3rd in both the open class races to gain 3rd position overall and 2nd position in the Catalan championship with 2 rounds still to go.

Meanwhile his older brother Mat Ford-Dunn, competing in the SM30 class, for riders over 30 years old, had mixed fortunes. After winning the first of his two races, Mat was looking good to do the same in the second race when he missed a gear before a jump that flicked his rear wheel up and sent him over the handlebars. Mat was knocked unconscious in the crash and was out for about 4 minutes, before remounting to finish 7th. The 7th place, combined with his 1st in race 1, was good enough to give him 3rd overall and he still made the rostrum despite a headache and a severe concussion.

The Brothers were then in action the following weekend at Alcarras, near Llieda, for the 4th round of the Spanish championship where the heavens opened and the racing was held in torrential rain. Anthony struggled to get his bike set up for the wet conditions but still managed 6th position in both of his Open class Spanish championship races. Anthony is currently in 5th position in the championship standings with only 9 points between himself and the 3rd placed rider, so he has it all to play for in the final Spanish championship round at Albaida circuit near Alcoy, Alicante.

Older brother Mat had a great couple of rides in SM30, to win both races and end the day on level points with Joan Lopez as they enter the final round.

The brothers now have a busy few weeks preparing for the final races of the season with the next Catalan round this weekend, followed by the title deciding, final round of the Spanish championships at Albaida on Sunday 28th October. With the pressure on it will be interesting to see how they both fare and the teams main sponsors, Advance moves International Removals and Stratton Motorsports will welcome anyone wishing to attend the races and support their riders to the dramatic finale of the year.
