Matterley Basin, in Great Britain, will host the second round of the 2021 FIM Motocross World Championship this weekend. It’s going to be an exciting event for fans across the globe, as one could argue that this will be the first traditional race of the season. The fact that it is being run in Europe means that a lot more riders and teams are able to compete – the premier division is truly stacked! The only riders missing will be Vsevolod Brylyakov, Mitch Evans and Miro Sihovonen.
Another point to consider is that the weather forecast looks fairly bleak. Now, after monitoring the situation, it seems quite likely that things should brighten up at crucial times and there will not be a complete mudder. There will almost certainly be some showers throughout the weekend though. The forecast below this text’s going to be updated each day, so it may be worth saving this link. It is almost like a virtual programme! Contact us with any specific questions (@motocrossvice on Twitter).
