Women in Moto Festival takes place at Uttoxeter Race course on the 17 – 18 August. The festival celebrates women across the motorcycle industry, from everyday riders to female industry champions with a place to unite and inspire.
This is the Forth year that the festival has taken place and more than 1600 riders will descend upon the race course for workshops, guest speakers and inspiration talks. The festival is the epitome of inclusivity and is open to all riders, with the founder understanding that a large proportion of women get involved with biking because of male partners or family. This is a festival with family at the heart of it, the Biking Family!
Women in Moto have teamed up with Honda, who bring along their ‘Ride Free’ show event, it gives showgoers the chance to ride a bike with little to no experience, opening up the show up to complete beginners. As the festival has grown over the years they now welcome more test rides with V-Moto Soco, the creation of an Arena for police displays and skills games combined with ‘Sit down sessions’- where informal chats takes place regarding confidence, bike security and much more.
New for this year, the Adventure Zone is the latest addition to the action-packed event! It’s a active area encompassing adventure travel with hints and tips from some of the leading ladies in the ADV sector.
Speaking with Founder Lindsey about the origins of the festival, She had this to say ” I found my journey through the motorcycling experience was pretty poor- limited kit for my body type, being mostly ignored on the CBT and forced to do an auto CBT, not able to find female bikers to share my experiences with. I understood that a lot of the time women get into biking because of male partners or family, so I didn’t want to discourage those supportive people from coming along. I wanted to even out the sexism in the industry, not create a barrier”
Superbike News will be along to the Women in Moto festival and we look forward to showcasing the event across our social channels during the Festival.

That brought an end to the Spaniard’s chance to earn some vital Championship points as he retired to the pitlane, leaving it as a KTM-GASGAS battle for fourth and likely about to drop out the top three in the standings given Bastianini was now holding station at the head of the field.

The legendary Cannonball Bike Run recently concluded its epic 2024 rally, the longest and most challenging route in its 20-year history. 
With this year’s ride marking the event’s 20th anniversary, the Cannonball Bike Run organisers wanted to celebrate the occasion in style, curating its longest and toughest route to date. The Rally began at the iconic Brno Circuit in the Czech Republic on Friday, 28th June, for an optional track session before a pre-party in the city centre. However, in typical Cannonball style, the first day wasn’t without drama when one rider spectacularly highsided his Fireblade on track! Thankfully, some on-the-fly repairs and a bit of creativity saw him rejoin the group just a few days later.
Alongside the toughest route in Cannonball history, this year’s Rally threw up a number of unexpected challenges. Yet despite a baking heatwave enveloping most of Eastern Europe, denied visas, lost passports, wild bears and even one bike ending up fully submerged in a river, all 43 riders were able to complete the route!
