Shouldn't surprise anyone at this point.

Congrats to Eli.

They didn’t mention Vegas and Salt Lake City being cancelled.

I would be highly surprised if they find a way to make up any of these events. We always hear (and saw evidence in the 2020 early schedule) how difficult it is to plan around the stadiums for this series. Perhaps multiple "rounds" in some venue once they are back and running could be a possibility i.e; a points scoring main on Friday and Saturday could happen.

At this point I am just hoping this doesnt spill into the outdoors and affect that series.

Read the fucking press release. They aren’t making up any rounds. They are cancelled except for Vegas and Salt Lake City. Postponed meaning the schedule is postponed. Not rescheduled! 🙄🙄

I posted this in another thread.

The Rocky Mountain ATV/MC KTM Team made an Instagram post earlier today but have now replaced it.

The original post said Indy, Detroit, Seattle, Denver, and Foxborough were cancelled. Vegas and SLC are still happening.

Double header weekends starting March 28th.

Mid-week rounds in Vegas as well.

No fans in the stands.

They could've replaced it because it wasn't supposed to be posted or because it's still not 100% that it's happening. Remains to be seen. That said Vegas and SLC aren't mentioned in the article.

I could see more races happening before the outdoors start. SX will be over by the time the outdoors start however. Hopefully the MX season goes off as scheduled.

Find two venues. Each has a triple crown event, each “main” is points paying. “Six” races in two weekends. Race final race as normal.

A triple crown race at Vegas or SLC where all motos count would work as well.

if they have multiple points paying races at one venue is that a make up? I get that they aren't going to find another date to have a race in Indy, Detroit, or anywhere.

Also, postponed means that it is not happening on the scheduled date but will on a later date. I do not think the schedule is technically postponed. Regardless, thank you for making the clarification. You are helping.

Correct

Did you know the final event in Sam Boyd Stadium, forever, was to be the SX race?

Think about that for a minute.....or two

Maybe you should look up the definition of “Postponed”

There may be more available days? Dates?

Nevada hasn't cancelled anything or banned large gatherings, if they did, it'll kill casinos, shows, fights....lifeblood of Nevada

I also stated they didn’t mention Salt Lake. Salt lake is scheduled AFTER Vegas. So if they run Vegas, they will run Salt Lake.

But everyone, the teams and even Feld, are in a pickle with sponsors and contracts if they do not run 17 "events"

A simple extra main isn't an "event"

If 17 events aren't run, a lot of money will be lost across so many teams, riders, sponsors and more

While the intensity for such an event would be unlike anything we have ever seen, I doubt that the "decision makers" would even consider it.

Imagine someone going down in practice and twisting a knee... It's not just 26 points up for grabs in the next 3 hours, its 78. On top of that, doing it twice? It could blow the whole season to shreds. The media and fan backlash would be unbearable...

At least with the double header, you give the riders a night to sleep on it and recover from something.

But the Governor has declared a State of Emergency, so I would imagine a motorcycle race would be pretty low on his priorities list.

Nevada hasn’t cancelled large groups “YET”, that can change fast depending on how this plays out.

In say, a few weeks, like other events....like Disney

Most entertainment is planning to come back online around April 1

I hope they are able to pull it off, I think the end of the month is being overly optimistic but I hope they can pull something together. Even if Tomac ultimately wins it, he deserves a plate free of *****s from the * crew.
