Tim Gajser wants MXGP to return to two-day format

This year the MXGP World Championship had a different format than usual, with all the races being held in just one day, something Tim Gajser would like to not happen again, explaining why he prefers GPs with two days.

‘I think I have been quite clear that I wish that we can go back to the two-day format. I believe it is better for a world championship to be held over two days, rather than just a one-day format which is what I ride when I go to Slovenia for a national event’, the Honda rider began to say, he who this year saw the championship slip away to Jeffrey Herlings in the last round.

The number 243 then explained: ‘It gives us a bit more of a chance to get things right on the bike and to make things a bit safer as we can change things and see how they work and then still have chance to change them back before the races’.

His preference isn’t, however, the same for everyone: ‘I know a lot of riders want the one-day format, but then they are also using practice tracks or tracks in the area on the Saturday because they want to work on things and get things perfect for raceday. Maybe the qualifying race could be incentivised more, or we just do timed practice for the gate pick but I believe that the MXGPs should be a two-day event’.
