I don't think 20 is too much. those guys have a pretty 'relaxed' schedule right now. It shouldn't get much more tho.

But did you ever seen world class racers from Panama, China or even Qatar? I would prefer see a "tour" in Oz and NZ in March at the end of their summer. Some of the best track in the world are in NZ in my opinion! A GP in Manji, Conondale or even Coonabarabran should be mint in Aus! In Taupo, Puke or TTT in NZ!

Wonder where on the schedule Russia & Portugal will fall.. Also, the second France race. Perhaps the final round will be the second France race, since they're be in Netherlands the week before..
Does Matterly Basin get taken off, due to it doing the MXDN?

Supercross is shit. More outdoor events is always a good thing; there's room on the calendar. My only concern is injuries, which sometimes rip the heart out of the season.

In an ideal world, I think the Pacific swing would visit Japan, Malaysia and Australia. Maybe even China. But in the real world, they'll go to venues that are willing to post the fee to Youthstream, same as F1 goes to venues that post the fee to Bernie Ecclestone.

Everyone goes to Qatar for just about everything, 'cause those guys pay everyone to come over. Last year the UCI Road Racing Championships were held in Richmond, Virgina, where I live. Great event. This year? You guessed it ... Qatar.

Too many races for 1 series. Itll be a snooze fest late in the season. And to have 20 rounds and not one in AUS or NZ is crazy to me esp with how crazy the fans would be. But instead have one in Qatar where theres no real spectators or people who even ride mx is mindblowing.

But all the races are 2 day affairs with more than double the track time.

And no they don't all ride their Nationals. some ride their own and the national series of their team too...

Too many. It's starting to get ridiculous actually, but I expect no less from the Italian criminal. It is all about money, money, money...HIS.

they have 17 now and out of those maybe 12 are really good. can't imagine how watered down it will be if going to 20.

not to mention the extra cost to the teams I bet they are pumped at a 15% increase in expenses and work.

Look on the bright side atleast we aren't loosing rounds I know some of the tracks suck but it's all entertaining for us fans and it gives any injured rider 100points more to claw back
