Like the title said. I will be here in Germany for work for the next 8 weeks so I plan on going. Any other Vitards or Euro Vitards Whistling going to be there?

Still debating it - but the Pay Per View thing (and my girlfriends obvious irritation when I mentioned the idea) may have swayed my decision.

Been there twice. Saw Emig, MC, Albee, DV12 and all those guys race there.
Great show, but the French announcers will drive you crazy. You won't understand WTF they are yelling about all night. Gets annoying really fast.
Bring earplugs, the arena is quite small and the bikes will blow your ears off. Helps against the announcers too. Wink

Thanks Jeff. I was also curious if there are any early season mx races in Europe at all like February/ March area?

Sounds like your Dutch announcer in Valkenswaard when Herlings does his thing !! Laughing

But I can understand what you mean.

As far as I know it's all done by Februari / March but I'm not sure.
I think most racers are preparing for the Nats and GP's by then.
The Euro SX racing has never really been my thing actually.
Bercy is the biggest event by far. All other races are much smaller and more like AX.

Yeah man. Like I said, it's a great show and the crowd is awesome.
But since it's so packed, loud and everything in French, there comes a moment it drives you nuts.
Announcers yelling, crowd suudenly goes wild and you have no idea what's going on or is about to happen. Woohoo Blink Laughing

Hawkstone International in England is on the 24th February. Its located west of Birmingham in the midlands.

It usually attracts a handful of GP riders and most of our top British Championship guys. Its probably one of the biggest pre season races in Europe, certainly one of the longest running and Hawkstone is a legendary track. The only thing is that the first GP will be on the 4th of March next year which is much earlier than usual, and its in Qatar, so that might dictate what riders sign up for it.

Check this website for updates on the rider entry closer to the time... Hawkstone Park International

I just noticed you're asking about mx and not sx.
Normally around that time it's the big pre-season races at Montova in Italy and Valence in France.
And the Italian national championship runs before the start of the GP's.

Thanks Jeff. I know I would be a bit early for the GP's starting up but was curious when the regional stuff and one off races start.
