We have 2 Jasokonis threads on the front page. Nice.

Yeah, I wouldn't think it'd be this hard to get your visa stuff in line. Crazy.

I'm sure everts just posted a bike of the team and the bikes in the pits on his instagram story so I'm sure they got through customs now

That sucks .. You'd think that a professional athlete and a factory rider ontop of that would have this type of stuff fixed long before the season starts..

Speaking about VISA issues, what about Tonkov ? Is he out for this year due to similair issues ? (don't see him on entry list for Qatar)

What are these teams doing all winter for Christ's sake? Factory teams have 20+ employees, so my guess would be that at least one of them deals with plane tickets, hotels, and visa.

Tonkov won't race GP's this year, or maybe his home GP in Russia. I read a few weeks ago he plans on racing outdoors in the States and/or Canada.

Seems to happen too often, on both sides of the ocean.

Tonkov will race the Australian MX National on the Monster Energy Kawasaki on the 450 class alongside Nathan Crawford.

Do some of these countries need a Visa on top of a passport?

Yes and he was supposed to be banned from leaving the Kremlin. Toowoomba where his team is from is known for being a powerhouse in politics

Gutted for him, he was having a great pre season! I think he'll surprise a lot of people this year with his speed.

Don't forget that each person with a different nationality has his own set of rules to be able to enter Qatar. Belgians can apply for a tourist visa at the arrival, but not every nationality can. They probably overlooked some details and that bit them in the ass.

But seeing how big multinationals can fuck up simple things, i'm not suprised a MXGP team fucks this up.

We just need a bunch of unemployable social justice warriors to go protest in Qatar and burn stuff. Seems to work here...oh the outrage.Laughing
