What do you guys think??
To me this is supposed to be the "supercross des nations" and there isn't even a small whoop section. I understand that pretty much every country besides the u.s. doesn't ride supercross style whoops on the regular but to not even have a toned down version to me is a disgrace to supercross. Whoops make supercross great. This GoPro video of Romain Febvre shows the track and it's lack of rythems and whoops. It could make the racing tight with the obstacles not being a separator of speed but still bums me out.

Lame.
It's gonna be a hard track to pass on too with two full length sand sections that will for sure develop a main line, and only 1 or two good bermed corners.
Theres no supercross to that track!... That's why I laugh to myself when I hear other country's talk about how they're riders are better than American riders..We win more than anyone on full blown national and grand prix style tracks...and in Supercross(which is the ultimate expression of dirtbike racing)...requiring the most possible talent to compete...we're untouchable....not even close!
That track is a joke for the world's best to compete on....
this is what I would imagine freestyle motocros would look like in circuit form. just jumps and smooth sections in between.
this is a joke. much like modern supercross is becoming. just go back and watch supercross from the 1980's - the tracks were not perfectly groomed, mathematically calculated, jump fests. they were beat up, uneven and rhythm sections were, well, mostly out of rhythm. they were scrappy and inconsistent and there was no such thing as a flawless lap.
WTF???
"...we're untouchable....not even close!"
Well done. You guys are the best at supercross, basketball, baseball and american football which no one else is doing. Well done, you guys rock!
I'll also add that when I watched the track preview I thought man that track might not be bad to ride on and I'm a vet c class hero. Doesn't appear to be much of a challenge to the best racers in the world. Hell the superminis can race the monster cup track which is easily 3x harder than this one. If they are making a hybrid race of the century it should be at least equal to a Daytona track. Minimum 1 minute lap times.

for the skill and talent those guys have, track seems too simple, too easy... deft not at their level
now... for amateurs/weekend warriors/vital members ....i think that track would be fun to ride
