Looking forward to seeing how the GP goes.
I don't get the people who say the World MX tracks are a completely different style. They look pretty similar to AMA tracks (from what I've seen), with the exception of the more gnarled sand tracks in Europe.

In general I would say American tracks tend to sprawl over a larger area, which allows for lots of long straights and sweeping corners. With a few exceptions (and Bastogne may be one of them as its new addition) European circuits are more often than not packed into tighter locations meaning the tracks twist and turn a bit more. They also vary quite considerably in terrain and soil.
Take Saint Jean d'Angely for example and compare its layout and its track surface to any AMA track. Its more compact than any AMA track and you won't find shale or stones on many AMA tracks either. Likewise Leirop or Lommel, there are no sand tracks quite like that on the Lucas Oil schedule.
The two GP tracks that I've always felt resembled an AMA outdoor circuit are Matterly Basin here in the UK which could be High Point or Steel City, and Kegums in Latvia which reminds me of Southwick.

Now I think Herlings should head over here so we can see another "world champ" or Europe's best bite the dust. LOL.
Most of the posts on here are garbage and "USA vs. The World" is just silly nationalism on both sides, but at least you guys make it an interesting read. Keep on fighting the good fight!

KTM Sanctions Factory Rider Jeffrey Herlings Over Behavioral Issues
KTM Motorsports Department has announced that they intend to sanction MX2 factory rider Jeffrey Herlings over certain behavioral issues that occurred during the past two MX2 GP race weekends.
Head of KTM Motorsports Pit Beirer made the announcement on Monday and said the Dutch teenager would receive a fine and a warning!
“While Jeffrey’s behavior was unacceptable we do understand that he was under pressure at the time and we hope that this will be a valuable lesson for him and will help him in his future as a factory rider.” Beirer added that the company felt the sanctions were necessary to send a strong signal to the KTM rider, but also to show respect towards the team’s well-respected competitors in the championship.
Herlings also said he was sorry and that he recognized that the incidents had shown him in a bad light. “I realize that my behavior was out of line and I accept the sanctions,” he said. “I have to remember that I’m a role model for aspiring young riders and I should to behave in a way that they respect me as a person as well as an athlete. Because of this I have asked KTM to donate the money from my fine to an appropriate children’s charity.”
Herlings, who currently leads the MX2 championship, said he would try to deal with any further incidents by being less headstrong and emotional. He said in future he would do his best to behave in way that reflects his position as factory rider in one of the sport’s most recognized professional teams.
