Lewis predictions didn't surprised me at all... 
One thing that I need to say- Lewis, you can't tell US MX fans to go to Latvia MXGP over France, Italy or Netherlands! You're ranting about quality of press releases and you want to send people to laid back, smaller round instead of France where there will be thousands of spectators, flags, air horns, wild parties at campsite, iconic tracks and this whole vibe of European motocross... I just don't understand...

I explained. If you are looking for a sneaky good round and a more personal experience, then Latvia's a golden opportunity.

Some people prioritize getting close to the action and a unique experience over "the race with the best atmosphere."

I could have said France, a lazy answer. Instead I used my experience to identify a round that most would never consider...

I got your point and I appreciate thinking outside the box.

If I remember right, the question was "which round would you recommend to new US fan of MXGP" and in my opinion to hook up someone with how motocross looks in Europe, for general experience it's better to go to France or Italy instead of Latvia. From where I live, according to Google Maps, I have 11,5 h of drive to Kegums or 13 h of drive to Maggiora. If I'm going with my own money, I'll take extra 1,5 h of drive to Maggiora each time.

Ok so after listening to this, I am amped up again for MXGP. I do really hope everyone stays fit and the season plays out right to the bitter end like 2021.

I do agree the race format needs to change. Saturday for support classes, Sunday for MXGP and 250s would be a good start. 

Point out EMX250 riders so if fast enough for GP class, they have to move up. If they dropped this class completely I wouldn't care. 

EMX125 is a great feeder series. 

Great to know the podcasts will continue and could end up on YouTube.  More guests from riders to team managers to others will be great. 

My top three picks in no particular order:

MXGP: Herlings, Gaiser, Prado. 

MX2: L Coenen, Langenfelder, Everts ( I think he has a bit more in the tank)
