The provisional calendar for the 2017 World Motocross Championship was released today and it has the MXdN listed to be in the US, but it says TBA next to the venue, which is weird because I thought it was nailed on that it was going to be at Glen Helen. However, Matthes tweeted earlier saying that whilst he was way Mantova, he had heard that the MXdN would be at Red Bud, and the fact that it says TBA maybe confirms that.

I guess we'll know soon, but if it is at Red Bud then I think it's a great move. It's one of the best tracks in the world and it's probably the best track for atmosphere in the US

Good lord, if this is true it will be epic. Making the track so much more centralized is guaranteed to seriously boost attendance. I know I'd make the trip; for sure.

Unless Bud Feldcamp and Co have voluntarily relinquished the MXDN, I'd call it a complete c**t act by Luongo / Youthstream.

I'm no great fan of Glen Helen as a track, but Feldcamp and Co have put in a lot of effort into the various GPs they've run, for buggerall return - they deserve the decent pay day that they'd get from an MXDN.

We don't know what the deal is with why it's moved yet, so it's unfair to call anybody out. All I know is, from the outside looking in, I'd much rather it be at Red Bud than GH

The series finale has yet to be determined. Glen Helen will host the 2017 Motocross of Nations, which rules them out, as a track cannot hold a GP and the MXoN in the same year. The FIM and Youthstream typically release multiple schedules before all locations are locked in, so expect to see some changes and additions between now and next season.

Would be a great event at RedBud but sounds like it wasn't profitable for Budds and Lakewood.

I would go for sure.

I myself would much rather have it at Glen Helen. GH has been scheduled for the MXDN at least twice, maybe 3 times and had it pulled out from under them. It's about time Mr. Giuseppe Luongo honors his word!

Thinking about that track and what happened in 94 still gives me a sad feeling.

Where are they going to build the track?

They already have a track and don't see nothing wrong with it. It's one of the most famous tracks in Italy (even if San Marino it's not exactly Italy...), the only problem with that track is it's so hard you could use slicks.

"So hard you could use Slicks". Cool

I see No Problem with that. Motocross is supposed to be run on a variety of terrains.

There are tyres made for different conditions, and, the highest level riders should be able to ride any Outdoors terrain.

It looks a damned sight better to me as a track than the sort of thing coming soon at Charlotte, and what we see at Thailand and Qatar.

Red Bud would be a cool place to have the race but I highly doubt it will ever happen, it's a huge financial risk for the track.
