Someone like Robgvx would know - I think top ten (or some number) in the series at the time of a race event, or from the previous years results, had some sort of qualifying 'protection', at times
Plenty of up and down, (scary) floater jumps, and hard, hard pack, with plenty of ruts.
Just look at (if you can see it - he didn't, the poor bastard) the miniature one that caught out Watson, on the face of that jump.
What do you want - tilled up ground, that ends up as a piss poor slot car track?
A hard pack track like this, with ruts that become rock hard wheel biters, would have so many riders that are now used to Chocolate Cake like surfaces, crying in their energy drinks, wondering how to find traction.
'Everyone' - well, not really - is close in speed because so many of them are blazingly fast, GP winners. You need to get over to the GPs, to see just how good these riders all are.
The same applied to travel expenses compensation for the flyaway races.
It was something along these lines in the 80s
His results have started to improve of late though!

And, dangerous.Well, all racing is.
Cute Lil Teut tilled deep?
Sport, I've been there at least 6 times, and it's not tilled deep. Nothing like say, what's been done to a fair few US tracks for years now. It's certainly a bit less hard packed than Orlyonok, but it's not soft and fluffy.
For an idea of what hard pack - and high speed - is like, go search for Carlsbad USGP footage, and Saddleback, Hangtown (way back, but, even now - and, do you think Pala and Colorado weren't fast tracks?) and quite a few older US tracks. Also, look up GPs of the past. A great boxed set to educate yourself on (incredibly) varied terrain Motocross tracks is the 86 to 90 500 GP series. Hell, you'll even see Leisks 2 years in the GPs.
There's plenty of ruts and lines at Orlyonok, it's up to the riders to use them, and, avoid them if needed.

Well, you're entitled to your opinion, however off the mark it is.
Same as how you think the track sucks.
I, don't.
It's just different challenge, that all riders have to deal with.
Way, way too much speed. They need to fucking slow down this track if it stays on the schedule.
This track is taking it's toll
