KTM Racing’s Angus Reekie has dominated the opening round of the Australian Supermoto Championship at Queensland Raceway last weekend on 3-5 June.

The multiple-time national champion enjoyed a clean-sweep of the four combined S1 and S2 category races contested across the weekend, a perfect weekend in his return to the sport for the season.

Reekie has this year been campaigning a KTM RC8 R in the Pro-Thunder and Formula Oz classes of the Australian Formula Xtreme Championship, but enjoyed his return to his Supermoto roots last weekend with a victory aboard his SMR 450.

“It was good to get back on the Supermoto bike, the first time that I’ve ridden that for about a year,” 24-year-old Reekie said. “I felt right back at home on it straight away, and riding the RC8 lately has helped me a lot – just sliding the bike on acceleration more and not putting my legs out as much.

“Racing in front of the Australian Superbike Championship teams and crowd is a positive thing for the sport. The ASBK event is a great event to support and it’s really good that the organisers of that series are supporting Supermoto as well. Everybody seemed to really enjoy it and it was a really good atmosphere all weekend.”

The two-round Australian Supermoto Championship will continue at Phillip Island in Victoria on November 18-20, with Reekie now in the box seat to claim a record seventh national title.

Reekie is supported by KTM Australia, PC Motorcycle Engineering, Motorex, Monza Imports and Dunlop Tyres.
