What really makes it a world championship?
Watching some YouTube and during sx the said a rider won a fim world championship. So if you align with fim is that the only criteria?
What makes the mxgp a world championship the fact they are with the fim or they face in a few countries around Europe?

Gee I dunno maybe it's called a world championship cause it visits 15 different countries in 18 rounds and has riders from all around the world competing in it..
Just because you don't see them as different countries doesn't mean they aren't
The level of competition or location/s has nothing to do with it. That is simply subjective.
Every thread does not have to be a this vs that or a shit fest.
Look at it like this if the ama series had one race in Canada one in Mexico and one over the ocean anywhere would it be less of a world championship?
If you took the four or five mxgp races with less rider turnout and had one race in Canada one in Mexico and two in the USA would it make it a greater world championship?
Pretty much every country in Europe has its own language, food, history, culture, government (*waits for some throbber to spout on about the EU*). Just because they are relatively close together doesn't make them the same place.
Same with GPs.
Europe is amazing with all the culture and diversity along with awesome history and landscape.
How could you hate the gps? Most of the tracks are great just wished we had better coverage of the races here.

great coverage , great commentators ..whole lot of racing on saturday and sunday ...live or on demand
thats like 10 cent a moto
doesnt get much better
The Baseball World Series reference is not a good or accurate one either. It has nothing to do with Americans being overly arrogant. It's because the series was sponsored and presented by the New York World newspaper and labelled the "World's Series". Even after the partnership dissolved the name stuck.
The only event I can see the comment being relevant to is Redbud mxdn, which is why my comment mentions Barcia.
