THE BUSIEST WEEK IN MOTOCROSS HISTORY: BIG RACES ON FRIDAY, SUNDAY, MONDAY, WEDNESDAY & SUNDAY

Tony Cairoli, got second this past Sunday at Faenza, but still has to race two more GPs at the Faenza track to go—one on Wednesday and one on Sunday.

The 2020 motocross season, both in MXGP and the AMA Nationals is very unique, but you haven’t seen anything yet. Starting this Friday the motocross world will see more Championship-level races held in a single week than ever before. There will be 5 major races in 9 days between the Red Bud double-header and the Faenza, Italy, triple header.

Dean Wilson (15) was both 11th at Red Bud #1 and #2 and is 10th in the 450 points standings .

Here is how the record breaking streak will  play out between September 4 and September 12.

(1) Friday, September 4: Red Bud hosted round four of the 2020 AMA National series on Friday, September 4. It was won by Jeremy Martin (25) and Zach Osborne (450). The next AMA National is on Monday, September 6.

(2) Sunday, September 6: Faenza, Italy will host round six of the 2020 FIM World Championships on Sunday, September 6. It was won by Jeffrey Herlings (45) and Maxime Renaux (250).

(2) Monday, September7: The AMA National circuit will return to Red Bud on Monday, September 7, for the second Red Bud National of the year (round five of the 2020 AMA Nationals). It was won by Adam Cianciarulo (450) and R.J Hampshire (250).

Out of the first six 450 GPs held so far in 2020, Jeffrey Herlings won one in England, one in Holland, One in Latvia and one in Italy.

(2) Wednesday, September 9: The FIM World Championship series will return to Faenza for the second of three races on the same Italian track on Wednesday, September 9.

(2) Sunday, September 12: The final Faenza race will be on Sunday, September 12, but it will not be the final MXGP race it Italy. In fact, there will be two more triple headers, adding up to a total of 9 Italian GPs in the 2020 schedule (they will be held in Mantova and Trentino).

MXA PRODUCT SPOTLIGHT: MOTO TASSINARI VFORCE4R

The unique VForce reed valve features double the reed tip surface over a conventional reed valve design. The added reed petals mean that reeds only travel half the distance as a conventional reed valve to get the same airflow. The shorter opening means that they open quicker, close more completely and last longer. Ever since their introduction VForce reeds have been popular with two-stroke riders looking for more midrange, increased airflow and perfect fit. Constantly changing to improve the design, Motocross Tassinari offers the VForce4 with its pre-curved reed petal, carbon fiber petal tips, wider cage, 10.5% increase in reed tip area and longer reed stops. The VForce4 has become the go-to reed cage for many two-stroke owners. But wait, there’s more. Enter the “VForce4R” with its rubber over-molding on the reed petal tips to increase petal life, straighter intake manifold, newly design cage and a winged air guide that increases air velocity.
