At least MA's attitude to MX has shown signs of life with Williams Event Management gone and MA in charge of MX Nationals, and initially off to a good start.
Bike road racing has the 2 wheel kudos in Australia understandably: lots of very well known World Champs- and the top class facilities because it leverages for the most part from bitumen car racing.
And teams don't wanna pay to come all this way
Second: those GP's won't even take place, neither will Argentina. Double headers in Trentino and Matterley Basin are coming up.

I just am surprised at the willingness of Aussies to submit to government overreach. Granted I'm mostly ignorant of Australian culture but I've always thought of you guys as fiercely independent free thinking people who just wanted others to leave them the eff alone.
Life expectancy has more than doubled since great grand dad's day- so there is rightfully trust in proper processes and from the vast sensible center, in vaccinations.
It's one of the reasons why Australia has a much higher average life expectancy than the US and a lot more social cohesion.
Our choice is to do that or what? Grab a gun or some explosives and kill fellow Aussies?
Not how we operate. Not how any civilised society operates. I think there will be a movement toward smaller fringe political parties possibly in the future.
But then, those guys probably can't run an economy.
Like I said up until June this year, most have not been in lockdown much. The economy is pretty strong and life has been good.
The wheels fell off around June.
And you say we are submitting to government overreach, most in aus are happy with the governments actions (for the most part). Whilst some parts are a struggle, and the vaccine rollout has been a screw up. But there are upsides.
Look at our deaths per million residents. The strategy has had upsides.
The ones against it have not come up with any better solutions and or plan of way out.
The ones protesting n their leader activist r just after money from their sheep followers..
Nope. Just. Plain. Wrong.
EDIT: Oops, this is not about MXDN anymore. I've taken my discussion to Non moto.

You guys go on and on about your freedom and how free you are, but I question how 'free' you really are if you're constantly paranoid the shadows are about to take it from you..
It was funny at first to poke at them but now it’s just sad realizing how kooked out they are.
To think that freedoms (to travel, to assemble, to seek medical treatment, to operate your business so you can feed your family...) are not under assault (in the USA, in AUS, & just about everywhere that I'm aware of) is just insane.
the freedom discussion is a difficult one, because the limits on certain activities are restricting to peoples "freedoms" but they also protect a lot of vulnerable people.
Covid is not the end of the world, however it has undoubtedly ended a lot of people lives prematurely. there is a balance between unrestricted freedoms, and a responsibility to protect the population.
Every society balances that a bit different, and that is OK
As i said, truthfully Australia had a much easier run in 2020 than most, unfortunately this year we are not so lucky. but its not as simple as "you guys are crazy and living in a dictatorship"
Heres the rules:
If you are an Australian citizen or a permanent resident you cannot leave Australia due to COVID-19 restrictions unless you have an exemption. You can apply online but you must meet at least one of the following:
your travel is as part of the response to the COVID-19 outbreak, including the provision of aid
your travel is for your business/employer
you are travelling to receive urgent medical treatment that is not available in Australia
you are travelling outside Australia for a compelling reason for three months or longer
you are travelling on compelling or compassionate grounds
your travel is in the national interest
you are ordinarily resident in a country other than Australia.
I think that it’s pretty safe to say that we, as a society, are not using second amendment rights to combat ‘tyranny’…..!
Three pages and very few comments actually about MXdN…..
Oh and for anybody saying Australia is in lockdown; only two states are. It’s like saying the whole USA is in lockdown if only California and Texas were.
Where I am you wouldn’t even know there was a pandemic if you didn’t watch the news.
So if you wanna talk about amendments and freedom, I suggest you go down to your bunker, cuddle your sacred firearm of choice and lecture your wife, or sister, which ever one you call her. She probably won’t want to listen to you either.
There are some real misconceptions from some on this board (and beyond) about what is currently happening in aus.
But most of all, let’s all chill on the animosity between friendly countries.
The US and Australia are very similar in culture and ideology.
Bummer neither are sending a team to the nations.
Have a good one all
