250's will have a single main event of 12 minutes +1 lap.

450's will have 3 main events of 10 minutes +1 lap. Olympic scoring. Lowest score after all 3 mains wins the overall.

Some of the wildest memories of my life took place while in Montreal for the Supercross. That city is nuts. Mike jones was off the hook.

I'm not sure about the pit passes. I think they might only be available to team members, riders, etc.

Event is on September 15th and you can purchase tickets HERE.

More info: Supercross Montreal

Edit: For an extra $20 when you purchase your ticket you get access to the stadium at 1pm for practice. Not sure if that allows you access to the pits or not.

I contacted the promoter to see if it will be televised or streamed anywhere so now I'm just waiting to hear back from them.

Hoping it will at least be streamed. I can see it being televised at a different date in order to cut out all the amateur racing and freestyle show.

A Track Map would be awesome if they had it. Without those dumb UTV races and stuff this track should be much better than in past years.

No UTV, ATV, Etc.

This is the promoters first time doing a supercross event so they wont' be using all of the 55000 plus seats that are available. I think it's smart to start out that way and build from there. That said I still wish they would use the entire stadium floor for the track.

The tack will be built by the Dirt Wurx crew so it should be pretty good. Layout looks on the small side but the stadium is huge so who knows. The other part of the stadium floor will be the riders pit.



Hope the event will be a success.

I'm pumped that supercross is back in Montreal even if it's a one off event. If FELD decides to expand I hope they consider Montreal for a stop.

Malcolm was at the press conference. It's in French so not sure how many of you on here understand the language. I can post it later if any are interested.

Raced it in 2011 and 2012. I wish Dirt Werx had done the track, the ones they built were so incredibly sketchy it was almost unrideable

You must have raced the last year they held an event. They haven't had an SX there in what 7-8 years?

I know Dirt Wurx has built the Montreal track in years past but not sure if they're the one's that took care of the track build the last few years the event was held before everything just went away.

Regardless it's nice to see the Gestev Group bring back the event. They might not have all the extra races (UTV, ATV, Buggies, Etc.) but hopefully they have a good turnout and it can grow back to what it used to be.

That event was always a blast.

Not sure but I think the last time Dirt Wurx did the track was 2004.

I've sent them a message concerning exactly that but haven't heard anything back.

I'll send another one.

man, judging from that photo it does look small. But I have absolutely no idea the size of the stadium so hard to tell really. Just seems like there's not a whole lot going on there, not a lot of cornering anyway. really hope this airs at some point on tv, but worst case I assume I'll be able to find it on youtube after wards.

Olympic Stadium is massive, so the track size should still be okay, just hard to say how the layout will be. As you mentioned, not a ton of corners.

Go back to page 1, I posted pics of the stadium and the floor. It should give you an idea. Stadium floor is massive.

Track should be close to if not full size. Just has a very basic layout.

With the layout being simple the racing should be interesting with the 250's only having a 12 minutes +1 lap main event and the 450's having 3 10 minutes +1 lap mains. Hoping to see close racing.

I heard back from them concerning the TV broadcast. It will only be broadcasted on French television stations in Canada and it won't air live. They're also in the process of looking around to see if any international broadcasters would be interested in purchasing the TV rights.

It also won't be streamed live and it won't be uploaded to YouTube due to image rights.

It will air on TV at later dates on TVA Sports and TVA Sports 2.

Why haven't they imploded the Olympic Stadium in Montreal?! That stadium was 10 times over budget and the retractable roof arm is a joke. That thing is 42 years old and needs to be demolished!!

I used to work for a satellite firm of the engineering company that designed the roof.

We used to receive lovely glossy mag.’s from the firm boasting about the roof design, until it leaked and didn’t work.

Very basic track, not sure if it worth the 8 hour drive. Do like the Triple Crown format for the big bike.

On the fence...

If this is a RockStar Triple Crown race and we cant even watch the race via the stream before or after I dont see how they expect people to be interested.....

I mean I have TSN, TSN2, etc. Sportsnet channels, etc. and could at least watch the Arenacross races on the stream on their site and it was good and pretty well done, but for the biggest race of the season you cant even see it I think its pretty bad.
