In the triple crown format, the 450 races are 8 minutes, 12 minutes, and 15 minutes, all plus one lap. So you're seeing them battle for championship points for nearly 40 minutes. Thus fans are getting a lot more minutes of actual racing, and from what I saw at the first triple crown, the racing seemed a lot more exciting.
At least in outdoor MX, you get to see the riders for at least an hour + 4 laps per event.
Let's compare other sports.
Length of games:
Baseball - 4 hours
Football - 1 hour
Basketball - 48 minutes
Hockey - 1 hour
SX - Roughly 25 minutes
Triple Crown - >35 minutes
Yeah it was brutal hanging around but the 3 race format was more interesting if you JUST watched the races in replay. They just need to fix the timings and I think also make it 3x15 and 3x12 mins plus one lap.
Yeah... I def liked triple crown better. Last night cemented it for me. I will watch no matter what though.

20 minutes is tooooooo long for a race, however, 30-45 minutes of commercials and fluff pieces are SOOOOOO much better?
I’m confused
