This will be a race to remember!

Gnarly for the riders and vision is going to be a disaster.

I am usually "in" for a good mudder sometimes to bring the equalizer, but 3 years in a row especially on this particular event is too much !

Already getting stuck. Wet sand is like cement once you get buried in it.

Hope they don't shorten the A final races.
Has that ever happened at MXdN?

A pure sand track would be able to swollen up so much more water than some beach sand dumped on top of tarp. What a mess.

It's a real shame, it's going to be like a beach race rather than a Motocross race.

Yep at Foxhills, I was there. They shortened the track too as riders couldn't make it up some of the hills.

It was like the Battle of the Somme.

3 years in a row of mud! Brutal.
And every year the weather here in Finland has been good. Take note Luongo, bring it here!

Many of these bikes are not going to last for two motos. That sand gets into everything and works like 80 grit.
This race will be infamous in the record books.

A mains will be shortened.

Gonna be really tough for the teams to get the bikes cleaned up & ready for the back-to-back races.

Pretty sure they are allowed to tech 2 bikes per rider, correct?

I'm feeling good about team GB, Simpson can ride and win in this and I can't imagine Watson having much trouble with these conditions. Just depends on how Sterry gets on but he grew up on this damp shit island so he will have ridden in it a lot.

I'm worried about someone potentially getting pinned under their bike in that big pool of water.

They do seem to at least be getting round, the worst corner of course being that one near the grandstand.

I think so but do the USA riders have 2 bikes with them?

Track looks absolutely horrible. This is not about racing anymore, it's about "survival".
