The joker lane next year needs to be shorter by about 10 seconds, every rider can take it once. That would mix things up.

It has to be longer than the regular line otherwise everyone would just take it on the first lap....there would be no benefit to postponing it

What about making it an advantage instead of a disadvantage?

Why not make it shorter but more difficult than the regular line?

Why not just race and leave the Circus stuff to the Ringling Bros.?

Because it adds somewhat of an excitent to an otherwise dull race.

I still think the Ryan Dungey face-palm was one of the best funny moments in racing. At least we got that.

It already is funny. It's helped decide the last couple winners.

The track designer should be part of the Joker lane and stand there in a clown suit !

Could just make a straight that splits into 2 where the inside or faster line is flat and the outside lane(depending what corner the riders coming out of) has a wall jump in it or "speed break"? Though I suppose wouldn't lose enough time and not very exciting, speaking of not exciting, this years Joker Lane was boring.

like someone said before, if you make it faster there is not really a point. Unless you crash after the start or something, everyone will take it on the first lap because otherwise you're at the back of the back if you dont take it there

The joker lane should be a rock section much like endurocross

Joker lane is an good idea but it should be more than an S turn. Add some whoops or deep sand rollers, something reasonable to make it more interesting. Maybe a series of three dragonbacks in sequence.. I don't know.. It needs to challenge riders a bit, and should slow them down.

I don't get why people want it removed completely. This is a one-off race and needs to be different from everything else.

Joker lane is a joke to me. Just race to the checkered flag, that is what racing is about anyway. It is too confusing for the riders and the fans.
