I mean... America's SX is the biggest thing out there but I dont expect the top european guys to race there in every race. Manufacturers will probably bring some of the US riders for the teams... And these brands are probably very excited to race in places where its going to be great for their marketing. Especially in south-east asia, where bike-selling numbers are huge.
I just dont imagine how this WorldSX will impact the US series. American riders are already racing sx and mx. Cant they handle more 10 to 15 races/year? Will the europeans race it? Maybe tons of Asian Riders?
(Im assuming its a 10 to 15 race series with rounds in Australia, Thai, Indonesia, Malaysia, Europe, South Africa, South America....)

The Shop
Could benefit the SX only riders if they can get rides over there. Make money in 2 series as oppose to 1 series.
means more factory teams, more racing to watch and more riders getting pay checks,
I cant see it being a bad thing.
doubt it would happen, But would be good to see the best SX riders in the world eventually get the opportunity to race more around the world, not just in the US
The money that the overseas supercross races pay to guys like Mookie etc. to be there is big but those are one-off races. American teams generally want their riders (both American and not) to race in America for the American audience.
I can see the new series attracting guys like Brayton, Musquin, Bowers, Wilson, Chisholm, Oldenburg, Peters, Osby, Friese, Karnow, Owen, Blose, Josh Hill, Enticknap, A. Ray, Clark, Marquier, Hicks, Harrison, Thompson, Hsu, Locurcio, Lopes, Do, Soubeyras, Ramette, Fonvieille, Roussaly, Aubin, Izoird, LeFrancois, Pelligrini, Clout, Reardon, Metcalfe, Bayliss, Brunell, Clayton, Woodcock, and more.
It's obviously not going to be the premier SX series in the world, but it doesn't mean it can't have great racing without the big names of the sport. Most of the time the LCQ's are proof of that.
The SX series in Australia seems to be working out just fine. I see this as an expansion on that.
Pit Row
I can see a guy like Roczen doing only AMA SX and then this short World SX series in the future. Same with Marvin that is already on a SX only deal.
On the topic of soccer stadiums, the floors are massive. They typically run about 110-120 yards long and 70 yards wide. There’s no international standard. A lot of the stadiums in Italy were built with an olympic running track around the perimeter, too. You would have plenty of room to build tracks longer than Vegas or Glendale if you could source enough dirt to cover the entire floor. It would be pretty damn cool.
I mean if you are looking for a cheap, reliable commuter bike are you going to base your decision on which brand won a race in your country?
I just doubt that the old "win on sunday, sell on monday" is going to play in those markets just as it seems to have disappeared from america.
Will it though........ probably not
The same.would apply to the new SX series. Country pays the promoter a fee to get a race, series goes to said country.
