Another face of Monteux: today: the Sporting Club Moto ball of Monteux! One of the 6 clubs of Vaucluse. A sporting specialty born in England in the 1920s. Watch out for your ears, because on Tuesday evening a match counting for the French Motoball championship was played on the Monteux field which hosted the Motoball club of Carpentras. It’s like a football match but on a motorbike. It’s impressive.
The players are acrobats in the fury of the engines. Only the goalie does not ride a motorcycle. Motoball, an impressive sport both in terms of the action and the noise it generates. Ronan Benkheddouma is the coach of the competing team…
The Sporting Club Motoball de Monteux takes care of the team’s motorcycles, their maintenance, fuel and part of the players’ clothing. The few female players — there are two at the club — play in teams with the boys.
Membership of the Sporting Motoball Club de Monteux costs €120 per year.
