AMA Supermoto Season Review
Now in its third season, the 2005 American Supermoto season looked to be the most exciting yet. The motorcycle equivalent of RallyCross sees slick-tyre’d Motocross-style racers competing on a surface made up of tarmac and gravel, with huge jumps and spectacular sliding action. 2003 champion Ben Bostrom returned from a sabbatical spent in superbikes while reigning champion Jeff Ward was keen to add a further trophy to his cabinet. Motors TV looks back at the complete season, with all the highs and lows of this exciting motorcycle racing.
