Riders on racing with no fans at supercross – weird

No fans is the way all sports are returning after Covid-19 but it was a big change for the riders in Salt Lake City! This is what they had to say about racing a supercross race with no spectators in attendance when it is a sport literally invented to attract huge numbers of fans from the city.

Roczen: “It’s just different. While we are racing we are under our helmet and we are in our zone. But supercross in general is a lot more of show I think, with the crowd being there, the music, the fireworks, all that kind of stuff. So, not having that, it’s simply just different, it feels like a day at the practice track.

Webb: I’d say the weirdest thing was no fans, on the gate, all day. Getting ready for practice it was like you could hear a pin drop, that was a little different, for sure.

Tomac: Not having the people in the stadium was a little bit weird, you had to tell yourself ” this is real.” It’s so easy to get fired up for the main event in the night show and then when there is no-one there it feels like practice. That’s what I had to focus on, that this really means something.

McElrath: It was weird no having the fans there. Coming in you kind of have the mindset it of it’s just going to be like a practice day but then you line up even for the practice starts and you still have that adrenaline feeling. Once we were in the race, normally you can hear the fans when something is going on, outside of that you are kind of just zoned in, you hear the bikes, you are just focused. I would say we didn’t have those big fan moments when you could really hear the crowd roar. I think it was for the heat race, I was sitting there thinking, dude, this is very, very quiet, you can hear yourself breathing -it’s weird.

Osborne:No fans in the stands for a Main Event was so much weirder than I could’ve ever imagined.

Reed: “There is no comparison to racing in front of fans and the silence was weird.”
