On October 15th, the fastest Supermoto racers in the world will converge on Castelletto di Branduzzo, Italy for the highly anticipated Supermoto of Nations race. Compiled in teams of three representing their home countries, the teams will compete over a series of races to prove which nation is the fastest.
In an exciting announcement, we recently learned that Team USA will be entering the competition with three extremely fast and experienced riders. Team USA has been absent from the annual festivities since 2014, when we fielded Gage McAllister, Johnny Lewis, and Monte Frank aboard Aprilias and came home with 15th overall.
Since then, the talent in the U.S. has only grown and they are ready to go head to head with the best riders in the world. The major headwind, which has kept Team USA from consistently competing, is the vast distance of travel, sourcing competitive machinery, and insight to the riding style differences on European tracks.
Now that Nicky Reimer and Bronson Pearce have joined forces with Italian-based PMA Team for the FIM S1GP Championship, a door has been opened to allow an American team into the competition with a fighting chance. This year’s Team USA riders will be Reimer and Pearce, who are both quite familiar with the fast and flowing factory TM450 they’ll be piloting, along with Supermoto veteran, and all-around great guy, Sean Butterman.
Now’s the part where you can help.
The specific requirements for this prestigious event mean there is room for sponsorship opportunities for any businesses/individuals able to contribute. Check out the slide deck below breaking down the costs, along with sponsorship availability and let’s send these guys over to show them Team USA belongs on the world stage!
