We spoke to some riders and here's what they had to
say:
#3 MX2 Ryan Marmont: "I have a full time job now
and racing the new 20 minute format will be sweet, i think this is a good
balance, i think we should see some great racing in the 20 minute
formats".
#2 MX1 Jay Marmont: "I really like the 3 x 20
minute moto format, if you have a poor race you can still work hard for a solid
overall, and keeping 5 traditional rounds should keep most happy".
# 3 MX1 ADAM Monea: "I think this format will be
better than thae back to back format in 2012 and should produce some great
racing, having the traditional format at 5 rounds is great as-well, its the
best of both worlds, and with more point scoring races it should keep the
series alive".
Entries will Open Feb 10th.
