The world championship is losing his value every year, you doesn't have to be the best you just have to have enough cash to compete....
They clame that it's for TV transmission and so on then why can we watch the nationals i HD quality while the GP on tv have so poor quality that personally I find it not watchable....
Let's hope that this 50% increase will open the eyes of everyone on how BAD youthstream is for motocross!!

OP misinterpreted that interview. Entries same as 2012.
As long as one can see stuff on the telly, and there's a healthy amateur thing going on, I don't care...
Do you pay to work or are paid to work? As simple as that.
That explains/justifies the "Gouging"?
I'll remember that next time I see you w/ a complaint/negative opinion of an exotic/expensive Part or Accessory.
More Defections are likely and GL is giving someone all the more reason to Start an Alternative Series.
to answer my own question, I feel like a cash cow

There is a similar argument I am hearing all the time about the UCI, guess what? racers and teams continue to subscribe to the championships.
Pit Row
We will see at the 1st gate of 2013 how many defectors there are, or are not more to the point.
I don't really understand what you mean regarding complaints about parts/accessories or what it has to do with this. FWIW If I have a complaint I don't bring/would not bring it to a forum so you are unlikely to ever see one from me unless I purchase something from you, which is possibly just as unlikely based on your location. I run part of a business and know 1st hand how damaging foums are where morons can run around shooting their mouths off before actually trying to deal with something.
Luongo model is based on moto gp or formula 1 which are successful. And in those sports you never see a privateer coming up and taking part. In F1 Each team fields two cars and if a rider is injured they change for another one. By the way Luongo is not charging the rider he is charging the team and the team is charging the sponsors. If a rirder can bring sponsor money they'll take him on same as Partridge on H&H.
Now in SX 60k people in a stadium does any of that money goes to the riders?
What I don't understand is how Luongo can charge the GP hosts so much.
What I am saying is some change may be good - 2013 season and onward will show one way or the other how right or wrong they have it and until it's here and active I personally don't see the point in banging it around my head.
I assume why YS charge so much is that the revenue generated/expected to be generated by the event outweighs the cost of putting it on substantially?
Because he can find enough people to pay it.
If you accept that going to more far off places grows the series brand and is not just about finding people who will pay that fee, then it's probably the best class model, because its seems a lot better than what has happened with too many riders filling the field who are not up to the pace and create a dangerous situation.
Of the options ~ small gates of qualified racers, full gates of qualified and unqualified racers, or a full gate of mixed classes, all qualified riders ~ the latter seems like the best option if you are committed to going to venues when the all of the regulars cannot afford to go and the locals don't have enough good riders to fill the field.
Personally, I'd prefer to see the format left unchanged, and don't go where all the regulars cannot afford to travel and the locals aren't qualified. But it's not my business.
Moto GP system is successful because of the money from the sponsors...and because this sport is very popular....(TV coverage is very important, so sponsors are generous...).
MXGP is an « anonymous » sport...which has not the same power with the sponsors.
Nowdays, a lot of GP riders have to pay if they want to achieve their dream by taking part to the world championship...it's a shame.
I'm sorry but Longo is charging the riders, in a roundabout way. He's charging the private teams, so these teams have no choice but charging their riders, asking them to come with their own money...and, in the end, this money is for longo's pocket....
Corruption to the core from high to low, match-fixing, illusionistic draws, gambling,
you name it, Luongo is a saint compared to Sepp Blatter
Thanks MXA.
