Being an FIM event is it fair to say these will be behind the gates at Red Bud? If so look for some better starts out of Eli, he was great off those in SX.

I still don’t like those things. Takes away from certain art in the sport.

Yes they are using the metal start pads, Also the normal start gate won't be used, they have to put in a new gate to the right of the old one to give the riders only one 180 turn. MXGP rules......

That's the Youthstream way of doing things. They like to make the starts super-biased. I'm not a fan....

Just saying it would be nice to see all these guys on the track at 1 time, we need a ama/MXGP combined round!

It would be great, but I don't think it would ever happen. It would have to be a round in the middle of the Nats and Gp's and points paying. If not we end up with guys trying in one moto and not there other, or not caring period.
