Poutena, Portugal, will host rounds three and four of the national supercross championship on August 1-2, marking 50 years since its first race in 1976. Day one features an SX Elite Triple Crown, while day two includes SX1 and SX2, with Spanish and French riders also entered.

From what I have seen trackside, the two-day format works: three SX Elite finals in Saturday's Triple Crown, then SX1 and SX2 on Sunday. One burst of speed will not be enough; riders must repeat their starts and concentration. With international names such as Jose Butron, the locals' line choice will sharpen fast.

With fireworks planned, crowd routes and fire safety need to be solid.

Seeing everything from SX50 to Elite in one weekend is excellent.

Starting late and running into the night may avoid some of the daytime heat.

A Saturday Triple Crown and Sunday SX1-SX2 program should deliver plenty.

With foreign riders coming, the locals will not have an easy win.

Fifty years since 1976 at the same place is genuinely special.
