Such a beautiful track with all the grass and natural elevation. I totally get why most riders say it's their favorite track, thanks for posting!

I think they need to till it a little deeper. [\sarcasm]

Track looks awesome.  First turn should be interesting, looks like 10 to 12 spots from the inside would be the prime gates..

So stoked that the race is finally here, no matter who wins 👍

Are you saying that track looks more supercross than motocross? If so, that might be one of the most ridiculous things I've ever read on this site. The only way Matterley could be more motocross is if there was a full gate of air cooled twin shock bikes.

Good find, thanks for posting! Curious how much shorter the laptimes will be considering the changes. 2023 MXGP times hovered around 2:30 minutes; Is MXdN looking for that 2:00 AMA laptime to increase laps/lapped traffic?

Catering to Team USA. Deegan won't line up at Ironman next year unless they are reigning champs.

I didn’t listen to the audio, but after seeing the way the tractor was breaking it up my guess is they are just trying to get it to dry out. We’ll see what it looks like once bikes are going out.

Track looks beautiful in the photo above.  Can’t wait for this weekend 

GP tracks are sometimes a bit more narrow but the prep looks more similar to an AMA track so I’m guessing there will some things that make our boys feel at home and others that make them adapt a little.  

Weve got a gritty team for any race conditions

That prep looks 1000X better than the video must of been mixing in stuff or trying to get it to dry out by tilling it crazy deep at first.

I think it was because they added a LOT of new dirt that was wet on arrival.
