From a press release issued by RPM:

Supermoto is coming to the Rockies

DENVER, CO – RPM (Race Promotion Management) has added a special Supermoto race to the schedule for its CycleFest event, coming to Copper Mountain Colorado, August 22-24. Dubbed the Fay Myers Suzuki Supermoto Classic, the race will feature a double-header format with a main event on both Saturday and Sunday with riders competing in one 450cc class for an overall purse of $20,000. Along with the big purse the race will be aired on Speed Channel later this year, giving the event national exposure.

This race replaces the AMA event that was originally scheduled as part of the AMA Red Bull Supermoto Championship which was cancelled due to environmental and logistical concerns. “We were definitely disappointed about losing the AMA round but we felt that Supermoto would be such a strong addition to our CycleFest event that we kept at it and were able to secure a new location at Copper,” says Cameron Gray of RPM. The race will now be held in the Alpine Lot in the East Village at Copper Mountain with a track designed by Danny Walker of American Supercamp.

Many of the AMA series regulars are expected to attend and compete for the largest purse offered in a Supermoto race so far this year, as well as the title of Big Kahuna for the weekend. Spectators will be treated to a straight forward, easy to follow format that will be exciting for even the casual fan. Gray goes on to say, “We’re stoked to bring Supermoto to Colorado, the enthusiastic response we got at the first AMA round at Laguna Seca confirmed that Supermoto is back! It’s fan-friendly, action-packed motorcycle racing at its best.”

Riders interested in registering for the Fay Myers Suzuki Supermoto Classic should contact Kerri Gunderman of RPM at 303-377-3278.

CycleFest is the largest motorcycle event to hit the Colorado Rockies in years. All disciplines of motorcycling are invited to gather for a weekend of organized rides, motorcycle and ATV demos, new gear and accessory displays, live music and thousands of dollars of merchandise and equipment giveaways.
