Firstly, you obviously haven't seen Kegums in Latvia, probably one of the most badass sand tracks I have ever seen! Take a look and then tell us what you think. Elevation changes, and more picturesque than most tracks on the US circuit:
It will rotate around the countries that need it, and countries that can facilitate it (along with being easy to access). Look at the football (soccer) World Cup. It was in USA 1994, South Africa 2010, and is in Russia 2018 and Qatar 2022; the European Championships are in Ukraine/Poland at the minute; all are not necessarily established footballing nations. The point is to boost the sport locally and provide a platform for it to take off. No-one "deserves" the race; if anyone does it's Australia/New Zealand.
At the end of the day it's 3 riders in America, and 40+ from Europe, with a few scattered around the World. Logistically where would make sense? As mentioned, why would FIM believe any more Americans will turn up to this than did to the last 2 USGPs? The atmosphere is better and the crowd are louder, hanging over the fences over here in Europe (not sitting in their loungers 20ft from the track with a coolbox). And before you ask, yes I have been to Nationals and a Supercross, 5 or 6 World Championship races and 7 or 8 MXoN.

There are a lot of places don't deserve the race,America doesn't deserve it any more than anywhere else,in fact they probably deserve it less.Youthstream took the GP to them and the attendance wasn't that great,there were some home riders there but most seemed to prefer to go practice for the outdoors instead of race,I can understand to am extent but don't quite see why at least 1 or 2 top 10 guys didn't do it which is a shame,it would have brought more fans in,then again Alessi raced the year before after coming off a race win the week before
Same Carlos (Eywa) shit again I see too...
OP - The US doesn't "deserve" to host the MXDN more than anyone else. If anything, it makes more sense not to be hosted in the US - in terms of cost and attendance.
Play nice with others.
but before that my people came outta heikki mikkola's area to take your peoples women and spread the seed.
the point of all this is where should a race be? well france and gbr started all this crap and robert and decoster got them belgium folk mixed up in there. to make this a fair fight seems the comp ought to be put in the vicinity of where the best are living and working. that's euro against usa, that's the here and now, that's what we might call reality.
rolling to india or japan or aussieland, makes no sense. if they'd get up off their arses in mass like chad reed did, well then maybe... otherwise let's get together in some place making sense for the young men who will be holding up the nations honours and leave the rest fending for themselves.
Pit Row
that should please all the American fans as well, because they can also drive to that race... obviously Australia is still screwed but at least it's the same hemisphere
but it has got like every other big event, it takes money to get it, I hope it does not go to a MIddle eastern Oil country and have bugger all people watching it,
A MXdN in europe i think something special, esp when your team is going well,
In Japan, dealerships almost never stock MX bikes. They are almost completely delivered from the factories to the dealers on a "built to order" basis only. And the window to order is very small, like 1 month. There are very few places to ride and the places they do have are generally very small and unimpressive compared to what we have in the states.
