SUPERMOTO RETURNS TO TV
F
or the first time in eight
years, the AMA Supermoto
Championship will make its
return to television. The TV
package features three venues,
as well as highlights of the other
three races, with six episodes
and a total of 12 airings on
MAVTV Motorsports Networks.
USA Pro Supermoto announced
those three venues which will be
featured for the 2016 season:
round three in Sturgis, South
Dakota; round five in Denver,
Colorado and the season finale
in Tuscon, Arizona.
USA Pro Supermoto says
that all three venues highlight
the variety of racing environ-
ments that makes Supermoto a
unique form of racing—a street
race in downtown Sturgis, South
Dakota, a race at the Colorado
National Speedway and a state-
of-art-purpose-built kart track at
Musselman Honda Circuit.
Producing the coverage is Unit
Productions, which is spearhead-
ed by well-known, motorcycle
TV personality, race reporter and
Executive Producer Greg White.
"Putting Supermoto back on
TV has been my goal since day
one," said USA Pro Supermoto
Chief of Operations Matt Stew-
art. "After years of working hard
to rebuild the series and see its
return to a National Champion-
ship, I'm now happy to finally see
it on TV for the first time since
2008. We're really excited to be
working with Unit Productions
and Greg White who brings a lot
of experience of Motorsports
and television to the table."
"We are really excited to bring
the AMA Supermoto National
Series back to television," said
Executive Producer Greg White.
"Supermoto is extremely exciting
with its mix of asphalt and dirt
sections. We plan on bringing
the viewer into the race action
and expose them to the fantastic
personalities that make up the
AMA Supermoto paddock. We
are so pleased to have partnered
with MAVTV for the 2016 season.
MAVTV is currently the premier
motorsports network, so AMA
Supermoto fits perfectly with
their programming."
In addition to the coverage
on MAVTV, there will be global
and national coverage of AMA
Supermoto's main event in
Quebec City, Canada held in
conjunction with the World Rally
X Series. CN
Three of the six AMA
Supermoto rounds will
be televised in 2016.
