Is Trials Evolution a platformer?

It's kind of tricky to place Trials Evolution in a genre, but I think platformer might be the closest fit. Sure, you can't jump and there are no enemies to vanquish, but you do have to skillfully traverse a two-dimensional map, surmounting obstacles and avoiding peril. What do you think?

I think it's either a platformer or a racer (definetely a different kind of each one).

To me the beginner - medium tracks are more in the racing category. Then by the hard - extreme I think it defiantly makes a shift more towards platforming.
