Please explain to me, why is there a 40 rider startinggate it they can't even get it filled once a year? Nobody is waiting on these amateurs from Turky and Greece. There are much much better riders in National championships around Europe, like in Belgium

I said: "a lot of wildcards from the EMX-classes and some local riders". You need to read properly before you complain.

Van de Moosdijk, Guadagnini, Horgmo, Forato and Dankers aren't such a bad choice to fill in for all those injured riders, now are they? And because of the long journey a lot of smaller teams / privateers choose not to make the travel. If you think this is new, check the GP's of Venezuela, Brazil, Japan or Indonesia in the 80s and 90s. Same problem.

You're right about the Turkish / Greek / Indonesian / ... riders, though.

"Can't even get it filled once a year"

You don't watch gp's much do you?

The majority of the GP had 40 guys lined up at the start of the weekend.

It's because that Prick, Luongo, has, as his 'model', things like MotoGP, and now WSBK (which I saw only 18 bikes on the grid recently, and, MotoGP has a limit of something like 24 riders), with his "best of the best" line.

I sure as f**k don't agree with Luongo's 'model' , I never have, but it's been this way for a fair few years now. To not have gathered the bastards 'model', seems a bit ignorant, on so many posters part.

Things like the various EMX series, shows how strong MX is in Europe, and, on the whole, I like them, but, I'd rather see more of those competitors going into the MX2 and MXGP series, and not be in the EMX classes. And, of course, No age limit, or Titles limit in the MX2 class. It's a World Championship - not a regional one, like EMX and US 250SX.

Limited competitors in the fly away races, late season races? Yes, understandable, as there's always injury, and budget attrition towards the end of the seasons. Plus, that bastard Luongo, gives sweet FA in travel and expenses money. Hell, go back into the archives and see how few 500GP regulars attended the Canadian and USGPs, some years, in the Carlsbad GP era.

There's the EMX Open class coming next year, so that will be interesting to see what comes of it.

not sure what series you have been watching but there have been 35+ riders on the line in almost all of the GPs in Europe.
Obviously in Indonesia, Russia or Turkey the gates aren't full. If the AMA did a race in another country (e.g. the UK) do you think a lot of privateers would make the trip to try and qualify?

Noy sure what series YOU have been watching, but they never had a full startinggate in MXGP this season, and only once it was 35+ this whole season.

Sorry don't agree. We have always had this in overseas and far away GP's. Example:
30 years ago, end of season 1989 125cc GP's in Argentina and Brasil we had Niclas Salzman, Eduardo Saduku, Rogierieo Noglueira, Gilberto Narezzi, Claudio Pesce and Jorge Negretti (all from brazil and argentina) score points.
Not because they were that great, but because there was only a small group of riders making the long trip (and that was in a season with only 12 GP's, travel money and start money).

We have had a bunch of GP's this season with 40 guys in MXGP and MX2. Any decent privateer can get a wildcard for these abroad races, but there simply isnt that much interest by privateers to spend a huge amount of money and finish 18-16 and score some points.

There was NEVER a full 40 rider startinggate this season in MXGP, and only once they managed to get 35+ (37 riders)

They had multiple GP's with over 35 riders at the first practice of the weekend, i don't think they had 40 entries at any gp.

MX2 had multiple GP's with 40 in the first practice. To be honest i don't know if they actually had 40 riders at the gate.

Re-read my reference to low number of GP regulars at the Canadian and Carlsbad GPs - those 2, put in for those that barely look outward from their country. Hell, most of said people, probably don't know there were a few Canadian GPs. They relied heavily on 'wildcards' / Locals.

It's been that way for Decades, at nearly all non European based GPs. You think I didn't know that? - I've followed the GPs since the 60s.

And, sometimes, 'Wildcards', do well enough to get a shot at the GPs, proper. Hell , that's how Rodney Smith got into the GPs, when he was racing in Brazil, from him impressing so much in South American GP(s). Same with a couple of Aussies, through the Broadford GPs.

But, Luongos basic 'model', is less riders. He even got put into the rules, a few years ago, a 30 rider maximum gate in 450 GPs, around the time he tried it on with the idiotic "Super Finals". Thankfully, both of those 'disappeared', rapidly . He doesn't give a flying f**k about full grids. That's patently obvious, to even the most cretinous. He sees MotoGP, WSBK, and some other major Motorsports, and, like those events, only gives thought to the Video Visuals. But, he'll take pretty much anyone's entry money, especially at flyaways, to put into his pocket.

And. it's blokes like CalimeroFan, and others that seem to constantly want to denigrate the GPs, that don't see / take in the fact that , much of the time, in the European / Brit GPs, there are more riders on the gate, than the 30 / 31 he comes out with.

Rather have a smaller gate of competitive riders than a gate filled out with 3 rd lap lappers

One thing they have succeeded in doing is making it so expensive and far from home that 30 riders on the gate is a good number even if #'s 24-30 get lapped in 5 minutes.

If riders get injured on Saturday and don't line up on Sunday it's really not the series' fault, is it?
In MXGP it has been a little less, but there were also at least 4 or 5 GPs with 35+ entries on Saturday. And several more with 32-34 riders. In MX2 a lot more GPs had 35+ entries.
It's not as bad as you make it sound.

But I agree, races like Indonesia, Russia, etc suck

5 riders in EMX 2T and 11 in WMX.

To be honest imo the best thing that could happen. This is such a low turnout that YS will have to change things for 2020 and come up with a schedule that makes sense for EMX/WMX.

I would not be surprised if they change the schedule for 2020 due to this.

It is an awfull look PR wise, they spend a lot of money on the tv feeds/broadcasts to show off they have 5 riders and they miss 20k in entry feesfrom WMX and EMX 2T compared to having a full field. Budget wise a WMX/EMX rider probably can do more gp's a year if you keep them close to southwest europe.
Just scrap those far away gps for the emx/wmx serie and have local classes at those gps without the broadcast.

They will never learn it, they do it every year again.

This is just a big shit show.

They should go back to the format what they had mid 2000 to 2012. Comeback with a MX3 class wich will get populair with the whole mxgp class rides and put the WMX, 2 strokes or EMX 125/250 next to it for more round and all in central europe

Guadagnini 6th in MX2 free practice. Kid is on rails.
Is he on a 250 2 or 4 stroke?

EDIT. Never mind, of course it’s a 4 stroke since it’s the world championship lol. That’s really impressive.

How do numbers get assigned in MXGP?
Did Arnoud Tonus earn the number 4 or he just selected it??

Prado into the 1.45, only Renaux in 1.47 otherwise everybody around 1.48 at best. Wow

Great performance from EMX250 champ Van De Moosdijk in 7th.

Ok i easily criticize luongo and the federations because i think the money must go the riders and then local infrustructures, not just 10 people.

That said, for oversea races, some of the riders who don't go could also get a deal with a local dealer/national importer, and just go with suspensions and some parts. I am not that old, 37, but i think it was 10 times more difficult to travel to do the world championship back in the 80's (no internet, no gps, more frontiers, more visa, more admin burden, more expensive travels, less english speaking people). Some riders also need to understand they are not faster with a graphic kit, nor a semi.

Why didn’t Prado move to the 450 with the title already wrapped up?
