Thought would like but don’t like the triple crown.

Most riders are pretty close in speed. The best of the best end up in the front over a long race due to during the week preparation and endurance and mostly fitness. Any of us that have ever rode know how much slower we go once we get tight and tired.

Just don’t like the sprint. It’s the first race of night so we will see.

Went from ten races in the night program to six. It is just a way to shorten the show for TV and the face in phone crowd.

It’s not gonna work. It’s just a mess. Too dependent on the start and the top guys don’t have enough time to move to the front. You can see them sprinting and being antsy. It’s hard to follow. It’s just weird. Honestly they just either need to go back to last year or beginning of this year.

I will say I don’t mind the idea of 2 longer mains but not this triple crown crap.

I was all excited for it but it’s just not working. You can tell everyone is all out of sorts also. It’s just weird.

I have a feeling Carmichael had influence with this. He just needs to stay out.

I like the format but they really picked the worst possible track design to debut this.

I never understood the different length mains. Who was the genius sitting around the conference table that came up with that one? Three 10 min mains or two 15's would be better.

The format may not be so awful if the track wasn't ready for the amateurs tomorrow....

Need to run the heats and lcq and then do 2 15 min mains for the 450s if they are going to change it up

^^ I agree with the guys up above. Gonna reserve judgement on the 3-moto format until the end, but the track is shit. Cookie cutter follow-the-leader BS.

I feel like the short race takes the skill away and increases randomness depending on the start. cant say for sure yes or no tho. Theres still longer races. I have a feeling people are going to use all of their energy in the first race

I LOVE IT! Everything counts. Not a bunch of bullshit qualifiers. Actually worth watching the whole program. Cool

I would imagine that the people in the stadium will be as confused as hell about who is doing what overall come race three.

It also doesn't help that 1st through 20th are separated by less than 2 seconds for the fastest lap time in qualifying. The track is too easy and too one lined. There's no separation.

I don't mind it. I think it will make the championship more interesting with points going to riders who aren't usually at the pointy end when the checkers are out with the normal format

Plessinger was making time on the field in the first main? There are passing opportunities, we saw Anderson getting creative with k roc. It's not all bad

I think the format can be really good on a real track, but this is one of the worst supercross tracks I can recall off hand.

The explanation was not excellent for the casual viewer. Lol
We understood it but it was funny. They heard Ralph say, " 1pt +1pt+1pt=3 points which equals 26 points."
Its true but some must of been confused.
