Anyone have an idea of where that is likely to be?  Planning to go with my son who will be a senior in high school that calendar year.  Assuming it is somewhere in Europe.  Maybe Italy (Maggiora), Portugal or Spain?  Thanks for any info!

I believe I read or heard possibly Saint-Jean-d'Angély in France for the 2024 MXoN. Not 100% positive though.

We should hold it on one of our Supermotocross tracks to make it fair. Plus if they do decide to do it the track can be left there. The US riders focus on Supercross 8 to 9 months of the year, where most of the Euros only focus on Outdoor racing year round. You do get the rare exceptions who will come over and race Supercross to test their skills against the best riders in the world. But sadly it obviously won't happen after how badly the United States handed everyone their ass at Red Bud. But it would be cool to see everyone race a hybrid track. Think about it. It will give the gum slapper Herlings a chance to prove something? But he most likely will be hurt by then anyway. It will give the reigning champ Gajser a chance to redeem himself after the Monster Cup track (without whoops) that chewed him up and spit him out a few years back.

Aside from the fact you just said they should completely change the event to a different discipline, I find the whole "but Americans train supercross!!!!1!1!1!1!111!" argument really stupid. It's not like they're riding MotoGP the majority of the year, and even if they were, the MotoGP guys train by riding motocross and motocross is like 50 times more similar to supercross than it is to MotoGP. They're still racing dirt bikes, on dirt, but the track is a little bit different.

Speaking of the track being different, Americans always bring up their riders riding supercross, but just ignore that the European riders spend a similar (albeit less) amount of time riding deep sand tracks that the Americans don't. If we truly want to make it fair then I guess we should have a track that's 1/3 regular mx, 1/3 supercross and 1/3 Sardinia type deep sand. Oh and chuck in some supermoto too while we're at it. But balance it out by adding a cycling race. You know what still unfair. Let's just have them run around a flat track in their gear.

Edit: Just realised we can't have them running around a flat track in their gear either. Europeans have slightly lighter helmets so that just wouldn't be fair at all.

There is normally a long-term plan for the MXoN, but nothing's been confirmed for 2024 and there have been no rumors.

The problem is that there are not many countries/venues that can host it, so I genuinely believe that they are a bit stuck.

I have heard that Teutschenthal discussed hosting it again, but no idea when that would be.

Excellent natural terrain, on the side of a hill so plenty of elevation changes. Viewing is really good from what I’ve seen. It holds a GP there most years so parking for the teams & spectators must be up to MXGP standard.

Just for more information, Infront said that they were only going to countries that "work" after Latvia in 2014.

Latvia was good, just not many fans and not the same vibe.

Ever since then it's been said that it would be a rotation of the UK, France, Italy, USA, Germany and Belgium.

Teuschenthal is a goat track now, too small and narrow, Matterley is awesome, and can cope, but would love to see a new venue somewhere. 

I would love Lierop, at least the fans can hang over the fences,  that seems to be a lost thing.
