The very first Women’s Supercross Australian National Cup will be held at Phillip Island on October 18-20 as part of the support class program for the 2013 Australian Motorcycle Grand Prix.
Two rounds will be held at Phillip Island, with each one consisting of two five-lap races and a seven-lap race.
X-Games Silver medallist, 18-year-old Kawasaki rider Meghan Rutledge (pictured), said it was exciting see women getting their own supercross championship in Australia.
“This is fantastic! I was absolutely shocked but extremely pleased when I heard about the event as I never expected it to happen in Australia. It is such a huge step forward for female racing,” Rutledge said.
“The concept has been really well thought out with plenty of track time on offer. I will definitely be there and will do everything I can to promote the Women’s Supercross Australian National Cup."
