The 2nd Annual X Games Supermoto race is going to be on Live this Sunday at 4:30 EST on ESPN. Some of the big names in Motocross/MotoX will be there like Travis Pastrana, Jeremy McGrath, etc. The only big road racing guy that will be there this year is Eric Bostrom (AMA Superbike Ducati). His bro won last year but I'd be surprised if EBoz gets in the top five this year...
Anyway its great racing. Don't know what Supermoto is? Its a hybrid of on pavement racing with some dirt sections. The bikes are modified dirt bikes with lowered suspensions, bigger brakes, slipper clutches, etc. The cool thing about Supermoto is really the riding style. To get the bikes to go fast around the corners the riders really slide the bikes in.
A couple of sites with video:

I actually just got the 2 Laps 2 Go last week.
