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.
