Default World Superbike and X Games Supermoto on Today!

4:00 pm EST: World Superbike Race 1 @ Brands Hatch on Speed Channel
4:30 pm EST: X-Games Supermoto on ESPN LIVE!
5:00 pm EST: World Superbike Race 2 @ Brands Hatch on Speed Channel

I'm going to tape the WSBK races since the Supermoto race is actually going to be live. If you haven't seen Supermoto before its pretty badass and looks like a ton of fun. I'm actually thinking about picking up a CR250 over the winter and motarding it up to do some of the Supermoto track days out here on the East Coast and maybe do a couple of races.

Whoops, Supermoto is on ABC

You're missing a hell of a dogfight in WSBK if you're not already tuned in. At half race distance there have been 12 lead changes

You need to get it or bum off someone who has it. In WSBK race 1 there were 17 lead changes by my count between Noriyuki Haga and Troy Corser. One of the best battles I've seen in awhile.

The Supermoto race was pretty entertaining too but Doug Henry straight up checked out.

I wonder what happened to EBoz at the end. He had 2nd place well in hand then just faded back quickly in the closing laps. Maybe he got tired?

I hope someone puts a highlights video sometime soon. Eddy Seel's flying W's were awesome

flyin' W's are always a crowd pleaser!
it was cool how they put a pit stop in. the stop made for quite a few position changes.
