Having said that, as for all the 'GP's are dying' posts... This is nothing new, fly away races have for the past 40 years had bad entries from GP regulars.
Year and nr of regular gp riders per GP outside of Europe
1982: 5, 7, 8
1992: 12, 13, 14, 15, 17, 19
2002: -
2012: 19, 19, 20, 20
2022: 10, 15, 16, 16
There were no GP's outside of Europe in '02 (1 in '01 and 0 in 03 as well). In '82 and '92 we had 3 classes all having their own GP's. And the top riders got a travel fee. Data from memotocross
I've not an accurate idea of the assistance give to teams from Luongo / Infront, now, If Any , but I very much doubt it's any better than the couple of hundred kilos freight assistance per rider I read about a few years ago. There's some arseholes in charge, that just keep the money for themselves, as we all know.
But, something to consider : a year or two ago , when the low entries were being commented on, I went looking for the entries from regular GP riders / teams in the Carlsbad USGP heydays. I think I found that it generally near to 20. And, sometimes, far less.
So, it's always been a big ask for overseas GPs. Of course, entries were lifted by Local riders, both High End ones, but also you'd always have a few blokes that weren't up to 'it'.
When they first went to Indonesia, in the late 90s(?) / early 2000s, you'd get a few Australians, and, I think Kiwis doing it, but, 'journeyman racers', so to speak. I can't recall if any of our 'guns' rode. That kept up the numbers, plus the locals. I worked once with a f**knuckle that always boasted about it, even though he finished nowhere.... but hey, at least he had a go
Saw a few videos of the MXGP track the other day. It looks really good - plenty of undulation ( though , of course the usual suspects will say it's flat as a maggot) , and, a good layout. Here's a couple of build / prep progress videos from, I think, the local Tourism Board :

I think there's a music festival on as well, in the big flat area with a stage. I dived into airfares to get there, but, even with "she who Must be Obeyed" loving going to Indonesia ( first time she went , to the 'submerged' Pankal Penang MXGP, she absolutely loved it - never thought the 'Queen of Clean' would have loved the muck so much - the Mindboggling House On The Coast we had may have had a bit to do with it) she vetoed it due to my ongoing ill health. Perhaps in a few months, for a Euro GP or two...... Bummer. I like Indonesia, and it's on a different Island that I've not been to.
But it was a different world then , you could break a kx125 down into suitcases and put it on the plane with you , the trick was to carry the motor on as hand luggage to save on the extra weight costs , try that with airport security now
Also. The promoter paid 1200 Swiss franks to qualify , not it costs about the same just to enter

This was how points were paid in the GPs in the 70s into the early 80s . They should go back to it for this race .
