And, to be honest, until today I was always planing on going to attend the race. But now, after seeing those pictures, I am not so sure anymore. And when I go, it is only because it is only a 1.5 hours drive from my house.

Roggenburg, the classic track is still going just race there.

Replacing Lierop with the fake Assen track is also dumb and not cool. If someone ponied up the cash they would probably hold a GP at a Best Western hotel parking lot.
The track will be decent, I'm sure.
Luongo and his cronies dont give a fuck about the paying public.
I go to Switzerland a few times a year, as the 2 companies I work for are based there, and, the place is a wonder, terrain wise.
I'd hoped for a Roggenburg like track .
But no, it appears Luongo The Drongo is determined to scar the sport with crap like this, time and time again. It's even more piss poor than SX tracks in Stadiums.
If this is really what it is - and those banks of stands show a level of expenditure that I doubt a local fair race would ever require - it's yet another Shameful part of Luongos / Youthstreams raping of the World Motocross Championships.
There is no 30 riders limit and the gates have been pretty crowded in all classes this year.
And Reed is not doing a season in Europe next year.

Also, the track is nowhere near finished in those photos, so I'm not going to comment how good or bad it is until I've seen the race there.
A few of those on the calendar are more then welcome...
This place looks identical to what i used to build with a mate at his families land when we were 12 years old with no earth moving equipment.
Just putting up a shit tonne of advertising which completely fucks it for the paying spectator doesnt improve fuck all.
Giuseppe and his cronies are the cancer of MX, no question about it.
Youthstream are not the cancer of MX, that's a big exaggeration. Yes, some of the things they do are not exactly in line with the tradition of the sport, and some of the tracks aren't very good, but there's also a lot of positives. The GP series is 100x more professional than it ever was before, and the level is higher than it has been for an awful long time, in terms of both speed and strength in depth. If it was that bad, the fans and riders wouldn't show up, both continue to do so
Seeing these pictures I am really disappointed. Another man made track. It doesn't make a difference where is is being held. It could be at any parking lot out there. No use going to Switserland for it.
Ever since Youthstream took over it went from better to worse. They are hardly racing on a real motocross track anymore. Only Loket and Trentine seem a decent track to me. I am Dutch. The Dutch Gps are being held at Valkenswaard and Assen but there are venues which are a lot better for gp's (Markelo, Mill).
Of course the greatest dissapointment is there is no longer a gp at Namur.
