During the Italian MXGP, we caught up with some riders in the paddock to discuss their thoughts on the potential AMA and MXGP combo race which is being discussed to happen in the future.
You can watch, listen or read the opinions below:
Tim Gajser:
I think it’d be good. you know. But they should do two races, they should do one in America and then one here in Europe… Because for us going there, definitely American guys they have some advantage but obviously when they came here we have some advantage, you know? The tracks are so different so if they are considering that, they should do two races.
Jeremy Seewer:
For the sport, amazing. I mean, it would be cool. I just hope they don’t add another race, especially for us. Yeah, I hope so… Because already for the US guys, they have a tough season now with SMX. And us with 20 GPs and two days, you know, it’s not easy.
Andrea Adamo:
I think it’ll be pretty cool because I mean there is always that from the fans, from everybody, the question you know? They may think AMA is better than MXGP but it would be cool one day to go top 20 and top 20 and see what is going to happen.
Stefan Everts:
Sounds interesting. We know that the American series is very super long. To add more races for them, I think it will be very intensive. Maybe it would always be interesting to see something happening. We have the Motocross of Nations each year and that should be the highlight for everybody out there.
Gavin Towers:
I actually had no idea about that but that would be pretty awesome. Hopefully they could figure out a pretty good playing field. It’s just so different, you get two day races versus everything on one day. It’s all just different so to make it a fair playing field, because if those guys come over here, these guys have an advantage and vice versa. We just got to see.
