Wouldn't want to be a racer and be injured at that time.
they even offer an complete refound of tickets, they dont even try to change tickets for the following events, they prefer to give the money back......
all signs i see say sx is done, despite the hollow promise of future races without dates or venues......
The Shop
Coronavirus has an infection rate of 3, meaning on average every person who gets it gives it to 3 other people. The flu has an infection rate ~1.4. That doesn't sound like a big difference, but it's huge.
I want supercross back so badly. I want to wake up and go to work so badly. The reality is that making any statement about the “season” is blind and ignorant.
You would have to be foolish to think the world can function for over half a year with nobody working, making money and spending money. There has to be advancements and changes made at some point. What we are doing now is a band-aid fix. Not a long term or permanent fix. The approach has to be and will be different 6 months from now. It would mean we have made zero progress in half a year if it hasn't.
UN social enzingeering in full force... let's go illegal
raving like 30 years ago silk revolution 1988/91 🤪✌️
Are you fucking serious???
Pit Row
when the near 50.000 spectator returned home, the speed of spreding was so high that the healthcare systems were unable to respond......this is not a tale, unfortunatly it is the reality !!!!!!
and that is the exemple of the real danger of helding sport events with large numbers of spectators, and the reason for sx to be stopped..
the virus by itself is not deadly, the danger is how low are the numbers of healthcare means ready for so high numbers of citizans in a given place, and that is what makes it deadly,the lack of means to treat a pneumonia !!!!!!
so it take time until we have a vacine or meds that will treat it not letting it became pneumonia, until then all events that join large numbers of people together are really a death wish for the elder or the ill ........
Basically, the plan is to have more SX races this year - but feasibility, locations and dates all TBD!
I guess it sort of answers the question of - Are they just giving Eli the Championship?
But with everything else being TBD, it would seem even that question is TBD.
Its the American way.
Whether you're pessimistic or optimistic on how the world will heal and carry on, businesses have to plan for a return, regardless. What if things look much better in a few months? It will be far too late to do anything about it at that point. Planning now is the only way to be prepared IF AND WHEN things are able to happen. It drives me crazy for people to bash SX and MX organizers for making plans. They can't snap their fingers and hold events. They have to plan far ahead, even with a high chance of adjustment. You don't think they know that there is a chance for more changes or cancellations? Of course they do. This is all unfolding in front of our eyes. But if you want to bad mouth a company for making a tentative plan for racing 6 months from now, I'm out on that.
If they do indeed race into October as we are hearing, keep in mind that they won’t need as much time to “get in shape”. They will already be in shape.
"The 2020 Monster Energy AMA Supercross, an FIM World Championship, is now scheduled to complete rounds 11-17 later this year."
All right - scheduled - it's on! Confident, we have firm plans. That is what this sentence says, right?
'The race locations and dates have not been finalized.'
Oh, that's a lot different. Maybe they have 30 good options to hold the remaining races, so they know the races will take place.
Hopefully, the plan, whatever it is, works.
And hopefully there isn't another announcement saying - Yeah we tried but.....
If an announcement leads to more questions than it answers, is it really bashing to still have questions?
we all understand where all this cancelations are coming from, most of us here even agree with it...
the point is, one series was cut short and the other is not going to start as planed and the promotors only have to say the truth....races were cancelled by something out of our means, we intend to resume the missing races but as of now no one knows where or when they can be resumed it will always be after mx and never before......what is the only truth you can take from the anoucement from feld....
making promises and statements that can not be proved is not plannig, its called other thing,and it is not only because of the stadiums being availeble,its next year in cause !!!!!!
and you saying that this period can be the off-season and the pros can race until winter and start a normal 2021 year is not telling the truth also.....i didnt expect that from a former pro !!!!!
i know that the money goes a long way and people have to do what they are paid for, but with this i lost a lot of respect that i had for the racer that you were, since i dont even know the person you are........
Thanks JT for the sensible post.
