The 2020 FIM Motocross World Championship is here! The Grand Prix circus will hit the rolling hills of the United Kingdom for the first round of twenty, which will take place at the historic circuit of Matterley Basin this weekend. Thousands of fans from across the globe are expected to populate the hillside too, seeing as this is the first time in eight years that the title fight has kicked off on European soil. That is certainly enough of a reason to part with some well-earned cash.
Those of us at MX Vice can actually help you save some money though – this virtual programme will see you through the weekend. It contains all of the information that you will desperately need both at the event and in the days prior. Who’s racing? What time does each session begin? What weather should you be prepared to tackle? All of that information is below. This will be updated daily in the days prior to the Grand Prix of Great Britain as well, so the weather forecast and entries are completely up to date.
