#6: MXGP of Switzerland

Why do they go to Frauenfeld when there are tracks like Roggenburg and Payerne? Are they unable to get the money for these other tracks?

As a Gajser and Langenfelder fan, getting some good vibes  and results from the boys.

Also rooting for Lucas to run up front.  He just has to keep the rubber side down…

Frauenfeld's track sucks, that's for sure.

But from what I've heard, it's very difficult to organize a world championship motocross event in Switzerland now...

Frauenfeld is the only one possibility for some reasons...

Anyone know why the event is held over Easter? Kinda weird to have it on Saturday and Monday, why not just choose a regular weekend? It was the same the last two seasons as well I think...

Last year it was in August. The year before it was with the saturday-monday format.

The location of the old track is unavailable. 

I'm guessing it's cheap. I was there last year and it's a decent track for viewing however it doesn't look like a great track to race on.  It's only a track for the race weekend then it goes back to being a farm field/nothing.  

The pits are far away from the track.  All the teams used the backup bikes to get to the track.  Unless you're VIP, parking is also far from the track. 

Location is odd that's for sure. 

hoping for more good results from McCullough after that earned victory last week. EMX125 is having one of its best years!
No Reisulis winning every round anymore haha

Yep. And Roggenburg too.

Switzerland is just too complicated about getting permits for big events (unless it‘s something like soccer).

Here is an older article about the topic (use google translate for reading):

Looks like no Jamie Keith in the 125’s, anyone know the reason? 

I‘m Swiss and it was raining yesterday and today but it should be dry from now until the next few days. And because it was dry for a while it was actually good that there was some rain now

Broke his other collarbone in Sardinia

No, the Dixon team is just doing EMX with Bobby Bruce (who can’t seem to finish a moto). 

The dirt looks Washougal like. That wall turn is kind of cool. Nothing else about the track is all that interesting. Choppy as fuck. 

Lata looks to be a good starter. Its good for him to be up front, learn the pace. Coenen looks to be either running up front or crashing.
