The riders who didn't ride yesterday got a fine, and start behind the riders who did qualify.
Latest news is that the some of the GP regulars are messing with Leib in practice...looking back and roosting, trying to park him in corners, etc.
As dodgy and as questionable it may be to hold a GP in Mexico , it sounds as though its simply about riders taking issue with the track conditions and nothing more. Of course if you're militantly against Guiseppe Luongo the 'safety' aspect lends itself to the usual criticism, whether the track prep is the responsibility of the Promoter or not.

“The riders took a decision not to race as a group, so it was their choice. I think the track was not as bad as they were saying. We are all professionals and I think that was not an entire professional choice, we’ve been working really hard to organize this GP and it is one of the best tracks in Mexico in these days. In the end it’s a question of communication, if they don’t want to race I can understand, but we need to find a solution, but the solution that happened today I don’t think it was the best one. We’ll do our best for tomorrow, as we have more material coming in to make it better. I’m also surprised because yesterday everybody when they saw the track they liked it, and then they came to me today saying that the lay out was not good, so that’s a big change in only one day.”
I reckon

So the rest of it is your imagination that the cartel violence has something to do with the event's problems yesterday.
How many times have 10, 20, 30 dismembered bodies been dumped in the streets in LA?? Surely that would be national news...
That literally was the dumbest thing I've ever seen posted anywhere on the internet. Good job.
What we seem to have here is a combination of two specific situations :
- Steve Dixon is the only team owner who happens to also have been/be a GP promoter;
- Michael Lieb is originally a one-time fill-in rider who's surprising performance in Italy got him more GP's with Steve Dixon's team.
So Steve Dixon is more inclined to support the promoter/federation's position than any other team owner - and put pressure on his rider(s).
And Michael Lieb is more inclined to follow strictly his team's orders because he just got in and given a potentially decisive career opportunity.
Other riders may, and obviously do, have a different view of this.
Hopefully conditions will be better (I see all riders went out for warm up, in both classes) and they may have some good and safe racing there...
One who talks the talk, but could never walk the walk.
One who talks shit and doesn't back it up, but rather ends up eating their shit in return.
i signed up to his live tv package on mx life for this year after watching the qualiying races at a mates last year.Then he just drops them so i have paid for something i am not getting , i have motors tv so watch the races on that.i have emailed them expressing my displeasure and guess what NO REPLY he is a robbing fat git and when we go to the british GP if i see him it may end with me being ejected from the track
The ambulance thing looks untrue.
There is a lot of heavy security in town.
Narco-gangs activities are present and brutal but the local population seems relatively untouched by the whole circus.
Apparently, Wolfgang Srb (FIM) and Giuseppe Luongo (Youthstream) are not present on the site (which gives more drama to the whole situation).
Pit Row
What are you on about?
And dont even THINK about taking your own alcohol near the track, he has squads of Gestapo walking around vanquishing all those who have spent hundreds to watch the GP and don't want to pay stupid money for drink that tastes like piss.
I wish the youthstream mafia would piss off and let someone who cares in charge of the GPs.
Yesterday
to this wich was more or less commonplace back in the day
Sureley it cant have been just about the dust? Was there something more to it?
You mention that racers are "naive"... look in the mirror!
I live in El Paso on the border and feel safe but you can't compare what's happening in Mexico to what happens here.
I pray none of those guys go to the local hospitals.
In the UK if you park your car where you shouldn't you could be fined £60, you pay around £3.60 for a pint, handlebar grips cost about £10, a film at the cinema costs £7.50, popcorn another £4, a 90 minute Championship football game (not even the premiership) costs around £28!!
And yet Motocross fans continue to complain about being charged £4 to watch four races of GP Motocross streamed live from the other side of the world.
