We're going to break down all the details of how points scoring works so that you will be primed and ready to watch and support your favorite racers! As you might expect from any form of racing, the riders with the fastest times are the ones who earn the most points. The exact breakdown of how the points are distributed is illustrated below. This system is a modification to the original point system for supercross events used for two decades.
The main difference is an increase between one and two points for most positions on the end score. This change's goal was to create a more linear spread of the point totals, which means that the best racer with the fastest time will still earn the most points. Yet, inconsistent performances will be slightly less punishing than they were under the previous scoring system. This new system also means that winning will be slightly more challenging than it was before. With a narrower spread between results, it creates more opportunities for racers to come from behind if they are able to secure higher placed finishes.
In order to understand the format of supercross, it's essential to learn about the different classes that compete. Two primary divisions race in supercross events, the SX and the SX, which differ in a couple of ways. The absolute top riders race in the SX class, where they ride cc four-stroke motorcycles.
The SX class is geared towards younger and newer riders who race on cc four-stroke motorcycles and are further separated into east and west regions, which have their own qualifying rounds. Each of these regions will crown its own champion, and they only meet to compete against each other in the final race of the season, which has taken place in Salt Lake City, Utah the past two seasons.
The numbers and in the class divisions refer to the actual engine sizes of the bikes involved, which uses cubic centimeters of displacement for measurement. This boils down to class motorcycles having more power and torque than their smaller cousins, but they are also heavier and more difficult to control. What may surprise some people is that the lap times between the two different classes are actually reasonably similar.
However, in a race between bikes of each class, the s will outpace the s out of the gate and when accelerating out of turns. The numbers and refer to the engine size, as measured in cubic centimeters of displacement cylinder bore x piston stroke. The s boast more power and torque than the small machines, but they're also more difficult to control and weigh a bit more.
The s tend to rev higher, while the s sound a little more "grunty. A Supercross track represents the ultimate evolution of the sport. Among the many obstacles riders must negotiate every lap are whoop sections brutal washboards where riders skim along the tops of the bumps , rhythm sections irregular series of jumps with a variety of combination options , and triple jumps three jumps in a row that riders normally clear in a single leap of 70 feet or more. Many of the turns have banked berms, but some are flat.
It takes roughly five hundred truckloads of dirt to make up a Supercross track. Soil conditions can be hard-packed, soft, muddy, sandy, rutted, or any combination thereof.
Average riders would find it impossible to even do a lap on a Supercross track, let alone race at high speeds. A Supercross starting gate can only take a maximum of twenty-two riders, so fields must be whittled down. Once there, riders take part in one of two Heat Races per class.
Riders who qualify from the Heats go directly to the Main Event. For the first time in over two decades, the season will debut an all-new Main Event points system to allocate points over all 22 finishing positions.
Fans can arrive early to meet their favorite riders, see the bikes up close and take in various pit activations. Check Supercross event pages for more information. New to Monster Energy Supercross? Need to brush up on some of the changes? Here's a rundown on qualifying, the season's unique races, and much more. The most important part of any race is the very beginning. Racers begin by lining up against a gate that guarantees everyone leaves at the same time.
Which riders will be at Anaheim 1 and which ones will wait for the East coast kick off? Starting first with the major teams, then to satellite programs, and then finally a list of privateers that we know are lining up. With a provisional list being released for Anaheim 1, there's more privateers on this list while East coast is still a bit less clear outside of riders with a spot on a team.
If you know of a privateer going East, list them in the comment section below. However, there's a chance however it could be Davalos on the line at A1. PC will have a strong lineup with two riders that are considered to be title contenders come A1. Living with team manager Wil Hahn, he's been based on the West for a few months now. Maybe East? We will see We expected him to go East but due to a possible crash for Cantrell, he's signed up for A1 as of now.
A1 will actually mark Sexton's Supercross racing debut as he was injured during practice at his debut round in We wouldn't be surprised to see Kyle lineup on a come a few East rounds though.
