The Supermotoland team have been busy building up their new bikes for the 2012 race season. With the Spanish championship race calendar and regulations being released late, the team have had to make some drastic changes to be as competitive as possible with the new technical regulations that allow 4 stroke engines up to 750cc.

The Team will be racing their own SML480 Supermoto bikes in the Spanish championship. The New bikes are built and developed at the team’s Murcian development facility in Bullas. The SML480 features an upgraded engine, suspension and chassis with further upgrades to be added throughout the year as they are released from development.

The Spanish championship starts on April 29th at Villena, Alicante but the team will be racing before then at the Catalan championship in Osona on the 25th March. It’s currently a race against time to have the new SML480’s built and tested prior to the first round of the Catalan championship but the team are used to working under pressure and are confident of producing a very competitive bike for the start of the season.

The team’s two riders, Anthony and Mat Ford-Dunn have been training hard for 2012 and will continue to release their training videos and race report videos on the supermotoland YouTube channel that can be viewed on the teams website at www.supermotoland.com
