I was thinking yesterday... it's really unique how we as moto fans get to watch the top guys race supercross, and then halfway through the year, the scoreboard is reset and we get to watch them battle it out again in such a different environment and style. 

I can't think of another sport that does something similar?

Probably soccer at the top level across Club League, Nation, and Champions League, although different as a team sport where athletes may split across Club and National Tiers (although it is a bit more as if SX and MX were interspersed throughout the year).  Any sport that has majors like tennis and golf effectively has resets at those events.  

It may just look different due to the nature of the sport.  Racing tends to be a series based sport, and we are lucky to see different disciplines play out over the year.

youre not wrong but watching mathieu van der poel and wout van aert absolutely clean up in cyclocross in the fall/winter, and then go and dominate through spring/summer road races was and is all-time.
