Thank you to all of you who either competed or helped to make the Yamaha Australian Supermotard Series successful and well attended. As usual there are a few who work tirelessly behind the scenes who don’t get enough recognition and behalf of all of you we thank them. They do it, not to be thanked, but because it is in the interest of getting Supermotard established in Australian motorcycling, and if you want something done, what better way than to do it your self.

Finally a website that gives women off-road riders the press that they deserve!

http://www.girlrider.net/

From the new site:

Welcome to a new site created by and for women off-road riders. This is a place for us to share information about what is going on in the women's off-road community, to share in the success of women off-road racers around the country, and to get information about what products are coming out just for us. We will also have articles by top women riders, including ride and race reports, and tips and techniques. Also, this site will give us the forum we need in order to to obtain sponsors, and thank those sponsors who have stepped up to the plate in support of women off-road.

New South Wales was finally able to feel, see and hear the joys of the Yamaha Australian Supermotard series when the final round was held under perfect Autumn weather at Wakefield Park, south of Sydney.

The largest field of the series so far was given a riding demonstration from the seemingly unbeatable KTM rider Greg Moss. Moss won 10 of the 12 available races in the series and not even a glitch in getting to the starting grid in time prevented him from clean sweeping the Yamaha All Powers Supermotard races.
