What is more exciting in the run up to the event?

I would say it is a pretty close call for me!

A1 only because it's been so long since we've seen racing by the time it comes around. More excited for A1, but the Des Nations I care more about.

I'd say A1 only because the anticipation isn't tempered by who's not riding, who's hurt, does the team have a chance. And there's not the bs about who "won."

Not that there won"t be bs.

Pretty close call.

yep good point, a lot more unknowns too due to a lack of racing in the run up... plus all the new bikes and new gear is cool.

MXDN by a million miles for me.

A1 is cool too but obviously it's the first round of the season and a rider will only lay so much on the line at that point. Whereas later on in the series when everyone's comfortable, it improves a bit. Plus I just like watching MX better and there really is nothing quite as spectacular or as unique as a Des Nations imo.

A1 by a mile. I'm so stoked for the des nations that I paid 20 bucks to get up at 4am and watch it. A1 makes me kinda crazy and get butterflies . My wife had to plan our January wedding around supercross.... I know a lot of you think sx is just a show, but it is the most exciting dirtbike racing to watch in my opinion. I love having friends over for the live races and getting a lil buzzed. Oh boy I can't wait.

While I think A1 is exciting I also know there will be 16 more SX races afterwards just like it. I have to wait 364 days to see another des Nations.

The MXdN is the perfect way to end the year. A1 is the perfect way to start a year.

It's all that bollocks inbetween the two that I hate.

(not including Bercy or now the MEC of course, those are like nice little stocking fillers)

MXdN hands down for me,

Personally I'm a huge Outdoors fan,not such a great SX fan but A1 is cool and means there's finally racing again after a long lay off

I've been to A1 the last 2 years in a row and the racing wasn't good cause all the riders are just trying to survive it. I really wanted to go to the MXDN this year but no funds. Sad I'm excited about the second round this year in SX more than the first.
