Proximus Superbiker Coming in October
The 23rd Proximus Superbiker will take place on the famous Jules Mettet Tacheny circuit these next 9th, 10th and 11th October.
This popular race emerged in 1987 and still today, it continues to grow for the greatest joy spectators but also for the internationally famous riders.
Caeser said before us: from all the peoples the Belgians are the bravest … So, what is the secret of the magic potion of Mettet to attract as many riders to that impressive record?
These years again and for the first time in the world, the organizers have succeeded to launch a genuine super moto World Cup that no one would ever imagine. The world top super moto against the world top motocross and speed combined.

He and the other dare-alls will give you an amazing show, worthy of the Proximus Superbiker of Mettet.As each your other surprises will pop up … and you can attend a second show of Christian Pfeiffer on one or two wheels or maybe none, you never know with him! A show to watch, certainly not to copy …
After the traditional podiums, at about 6.30 pm, Radio Contact presents the concert of Canon Ball who will perform the best songs of Super Tramp. That’s a program which should make you decide to come with your family to the circuit of Mettet.
Talking about circuit, you will have the possibility to drive on the new one for free… but attention! No complete round because the new track will be your parking during this super event.
