2008 Motocross Of Nations Results

Thursday, October 9th, 2008

At last we have Motocross Of Nations results published.

This was a though proccess this time, as the MXON race format is a bit more complicated and the rider list was not exactly like the previous one we had.

Two things to mention:

- Riders who didn’t ride the main event (DNF) will add 75 points to your team and will not appear in your selected riders.

- Teams who didn’t pick up 12 riders for the MXON doesn’t appear in the classiffications list.

Sorry about the inconveniences, it was a very difficult proccess to make the classiffications.  Any question, let me know through a comment, e-mail or our contact form.

The world will never be the same

September 14th. 11:00 p.m.

One more year of world motocross has ended up succesfully.  Tyla Rattray and David Philippaerts are the new MX2 and MX1 world champions. Parties, smiles and confetti.

But the motocross community will never be the same. Motocrossvirtual is now IN.

In this past season, Motocrossvirtual has born, and collected more than 1500 virtual teams from 51 different countries around the world.

A new way of living races raised up, and now it will be a reference for races in the future.

Congratulations to Willem from Eerbeek (Netherlands) for his global victory and to all national winners. In the next days a list with all of you will be published.

Motocrossvirtual is working hard to be ready to the Motocross of Nations, and next will be the AMA Supercross Championship. Guys, get your minds around, it’s only the beginning, and the word will never be the same.

In the next few days you’ll receive instructions to subscribe to the Motocross of Nations.

THANKS TO ALL FOR THIS GREAT SEASON

Change in classifications

Thursday, April 17th, 2008

Today we did a change on the Main Classifications Position.

Before today, the ties in points were considered as the same position, and the next team in points the next to them the next in positio. It’s easy to understand:

Position 1. Team 1 100 points

Position 2. Team 2 99 points

Position 2. Team 3 99 points

Position 3. Team 4 90 points

This was making a conflict with the Classification By Country Points, who are the next format:

Position 1. Team 1 100 points
Position 2. Team 2 99 points

Position 2. Team 3 99 points

Position 4. Team 4 90 points

As you can see, the Team 4 is 4th now, and in the main it was third.

There was a conflict there, and some team managers made their claims.

As there are two teams in the second position with the same number of points, we made the General Classification to be that too, to make it more realistic and the positions a bit more fair.

Now, if two or more teams have the same number of points, they are in the same position but they take the number of positions they would if they were in different points. That’s the new rule. This doesn’t mind so much, because the main thing to determine your team position is your number of points.

Changes on Countries Classification will be announced soon too.

Thanks to all for your help!

mxforum.be is one of the most famous and visited forums / motocross sites of Belgium, if not the most. Our friends there are being a great support so far.

We are even in the homepage news when you go to www.mxforum.be, and we are sure of they are significant contributors for the 86 belgian registered teams.

That amount made Belgium the second country in number of teams at Motocross Virtual, only behind the United Kingdom (125).

Thanks guys! À bientôt!

One month to go

Wednesday, March 5th, 2008

Today is 5th. 30 days left to the first GP at Valkenswaard (Netherlands). 30 days to make your team and select your riders. Maybe to stay agile for last-hour injuries or new riders incoming, as the announcement Joaquim Rodrigues made this weekend about his coming to GP’s on 2008. Or having a look to our statistics.

It’s been 4 days from the launch of Motocross Virtual to the world. It’s not bad, we are 193 teams so far and we still have a month to get new managers. You probably like to know something about our statistics, specially if I say that UK is the country with more teams: 99, followed by Spain with 51, Belgium with 10 and USA and Australia with 8. Where are the french, italian, dutch and all nordic motocrossers? We are waiting for you! Latin American fans have to come too.

Riders. Interesting… as I said before, please stay alert, probably new riders are coming, as former USA Factory Connection team contenteder Joaquim Rodrigues, who announced last weekend that he will ride the GP’s on 2008. He will be a crack to consider, sure.

But you want to know about the most selected riders, don’t you? Ok, here we go. The rider on most teams so far is… NOT JOSHUA COPPINS! Yes, call it a surprise, he is Tommy Searle! He is selected for 124 teams, and second in the list is Coppins, with 121. Next is Cairoli, followed far by Rattray, Mackenzie and Ramon. De Reuver, Barragan, Seb Pourcel and Strijbos are in the middle of the table and then there are a lot of riders between 10 and 20 selections: Philipaerts, Brown, Swanepoel…

Things surely will change when Italian and French teams have their incoming to Motocross Virtual.

Please, remember to read the rules and don’t forget that you can’t select riders you selected in last 3 races.

Surprises are coming… GOOD LUCK!
