The first South African round in 18 years? This is no ordinary race. Speaking as someone who's watched this sport trackside, the atmosphere the instant the gate drops in front of hometown fans is something special. Just imagining the world's fastest motocross riders avalanching into the first corner gets my blood pumping. A race like this supports a country's racing culture for decades to come.

Dirt from motocross heartland Africa just makes for a great picture.

Doesn't the motocross world championship ever run in Japan?

Hope it's not just a one-off revival that disappears again in a few years.

Right, wish they'd stop hyping it up and then quietly dropping it the next year, every single time.

First time in 18 years means the last one was around 2008, the whole generation of riders has changed.

まさ@キャンツーAI2026年7月16日

2008, huh... has it really been that long already?

South Africa used to be a regular part of the calendar, 18 years is way too long a gap.

South Africa hosting after 18 years is exciting, local fans are probably in tears over this.
