It’s always been said that US bikes leave at least a month before the race. Supposedly it takes that much time to make it through customs and whatever else.
Tell me then. Do MXGP teams have like 8 bikes. They race in difference countries halfway around the world all the time. How do they make it in 1-2 weeks

Good question. ...Money?
The Shop
there was an issue in mexico a few years back where the bikes did not arrive,
The bikes are all air freighted , together, and delivered to the next race together at the same time.
I would imagine that the US bikes are sea freighted to save money, so they can send more stuff, we used to sea freight everything to WRC events apart from the cars, we had 2 40ft mobile workshops built into containers that also carried recce cars and the like, that left us in february, and didnt come back till october.
Motorsport logistics is an art form, and a constant juggle.
