the temperature of the previous two years?? perhaps.....
I don't know what it was the last two years, I assume it wasn't as hot given your post, but that is not the point at all. It's Thailand. Why the fuck would you want to hold a MX race, where you are required to wear multiple layers of gear, on a hot bike, and exert yourself for hours, in one of the hottest, most humid sweatiest places about. Especially given most of your riders have been training in Europe's winter.

And Bearuno, ffs... I'd think you'd be able to read better than that. Do you have heat stroke? I made no comment about whether or not they should shorten it... I said you can't come to thailand and expect it to be anything else than fucking hot and nasty and then think about shortening it... fuck it's still summer down here... In the scheme of what the riders have already ridden this weekend, 25 mins versus 30 is not the issue is it?

Coming to Asia on the back side of summer is where they went wrong, but let's all get into a fight about what else is wrong with the GP promoter decisions...

Anyone know how long until gate drop of moto 2? Should be in just a few minutes, right? Almost 4am here, debating if I wanna stay up for it or knock out.

You just find out your "Judging" won't make a difference to the promoters and riders?

I don't joke around when it comes to Heat. Hut came in when the decision for the shortened motos came out and said "So much for GP riders being more fit" without any consideration. Hut is posting like he is involved in making the decision, I find it comical. It's a bench racing thread, made for bench racing, if you can't handle it then I believe YOU should get out of this thread.

I'm Canadian so I can't comprehend that kind of heat. Probably just as unbearable as -55*Celcius though
