It’s not a replacement for the US Open, but rather an entirely new event just filling a convenient off-season spot for a one-off race, and the format is going to be entirely different from anything the sport has ever seen in the USA.

08.30.2011 // 3 Comments

There have been questions flying about from industry people and fans alike wondering about the rules in a situation like Ryan Dungey faced at Southwick, where the second moto started without him, and he joined the race after a lap had almost been completed. In the following, I’ll break down the question asked, and the answer for each, according to the AMA rulebook, and after speaking with AMA/MX Sports official Jeff Canfield.

Rockstar/Makita Suzuki’s Ryan Dungey catches a fair amount of flack from fans and message-board types, and media for that matter, for not letting others “in”. What’s he really thinking?

Southwick MX National Preview

Anyone who has been to the sand tracks in Europe – like Lierop (no longer on the GP schedule), Lommel, etc. – will notice big, key differences in the “sand tracks” there versus the one and only sand track here on the AMA schedule – Southwick.

First, the European tracks are very technical. The sand tends to hold water really well, and the tracks are slow-speed, rutted, gnarly affairs where line choice is the biggest key of all.

Southwick, on the other hand, is normally much more high-speed, and line choice is never as big of an issue, as there are normally one or two good lines in any turn, and a few more on any straightaway.

French MXoN Team Controversy

Around the blogosphere, a lot is being made of a supposed controversy surrounding the 2011 French Motocross of Nations team. Being that the race is being held in France this year, perhaps this is fueling the supposed controversy.

The team, announced at Loket, is slated to consist of Steven Frossard (MX1), Marvin Musquin (MX2) and Gautier Paulin (MX3). Even prior to this past weekend’s British GP, some people felt that former MX2 World Champ Chris Pourcel should’ve been on the team in the MX3 spot, considering that Paulin is an MX2 racer full-time.
