the women's schedule is a farce.

That is one expensive series.

So the dutch GP will be held on a newborn track? Again no legendary Lierop?

Lausitzring 2? I took this picture last year, not a fun to watch a race trough a fence, meters away from the action..

Atleast the Qatar farce has been abandoned. The travelling though! Thailand- Argentina- Italy??????

Then later in the year, Brazil- Argentina (AGAIN!!!)- Holland - Mexico????? That makes sense...

Do you know if Youthstream have ever actively pursued an Australian round in recent years? It would seem the most logical place for a GP in the Southern Hemishphere. Are the sanctioning fees preventing it?

Australia? When you can go to Russia, instead? Wink

It's an interesting (and adventurous) schedule.

A MXGP at Assen can be great, there was an mx circuit at the infield, if they use parts of it and extend it to the motoGP start area it can be a great track with great facility. lot better than Lauzitsring for spectating. That track was not bad for racing.

Australia and New Zealand have both been talked about, but nothing ever seems to make it past the rumour stage. The rounds in Argentina didn't really surprise, perhaps the fact that there are two of them (at the moment) but I think there is a lot more to work out logistically for NZ/Aus than just sanctioning fees, where as Argentina have a lot of experience with big international bike events (eg. Dakar and this year's ISDE).... it seems like down under, it will require one promoter to really step up, rather than south america where gov/businesses get involved

i'm sure there will be changes (there always are), especially as i looked all the way down it a couple of times and didn't see Southwick Wink

Notice the entire schedule revolves around the US of A, which as we all know is the center of the universe!

So happy Argentina get's TWO rounds of the MGXP. Hope organizers step up to the game and give what is expected.

We been holding international events for several years now (FIA GT, Moto GP, Dakar, Dakar Series, ISDE, World Rally Championship, WTCC). Sure this year experience with the MotoGP gave the confidence to the FIM to bring the MXGP to the country.

The selected tracks are good choices located in beautiful natural landscapes.


What's most curious about this schedule, is that as happen in other countries of the schedule, in Argentina is imposible to buy a dirt bike.

Finland where on the calendar last year too and this year. Uddevalla is a joke. They should get it back to Tibro if anything.

To take away tracks like Lierop och Valkenswaard and replace it with a man built track on a road racing track is laughing the sport in the face. I'm hardly following MXGP anymore and this will not make it better.

I went to Mendoza a few years back when I was travelling around South America, what is the name of the track there?

I am going out on a limb here but I am more then willing to bet that the turnout in Australia or NZ would be better then Quatar or Thailand.

That schedule will change a couple dozen times before 2015 kicks off if history is anything to go by.

What's wrong with Uddevalla? I think it's great for the spectators, at least.

Rumours are talking about a new track to be built in Potrerillos (close to Mendoza´s capital).

Mendoza doesn't have a "famous" track now as Neuquen has (track is known as "La Barda")

My mistake Qatar is back on again, Sad must have missed it. Still can't understand why it's visiting Brazil and Argentina, then coming back to Holland before going back to Mexico?????? Someone wants more airmiles...

a NZ round at Taupo got very close to happening, the Goverment had to kick in some money to cover the short fall of the costs to bring it down, and that bit did not happen so it fell over,

I think it's shit for the specatators, the overview is good, the track is most times good. The parking is horrible, the announcer is horrible, the prices are shameful for what you get.

C'est Manifique! Man that place is sweeet!

Brent-What's your source for the seven figure promoter fee please?

500guy-Would you rather see a preliminary schedule now or held until the series is confirmed? Sensing you'd rather wait for a fixed schedule but didn't want to assume. Thanks.
