RJ Says: Give me a break in between supercross and motocross

Is the combined supercross / motocross season of today's era too long?

As a former supercross and motocross racer, I don't think the season is too long. Racers want to race.

But I would like to see a couple of changes that I think will make it better for the riders, teams, and most importantly, the fans.

First, I'd like to see a much longer break in between the end of the Supercross season, and the start of the MX season.

I think it would be great if the riders could have at least a couple off weekends off after the supercross season ends. One of the reasons is they could do more 'outdoor' testing at that time, instead of during supercross season.

Justin Brayton Joins Trey Canard on the 2012 American Honda Supercross and Motocross Team

Veteran supercross and motocross rider, Justin Brayton joins the American Honda team for 2012. Brayton will join second-year factory Honda racer Trey Canard on the team and contest both the AMA Supercross Championship and AMA Motocross Championship aboard Honda's CRF450R race machines.

?I think 2012 is going to be an exciting year of racing for American Honda,? said Team Manager Erik Kehoe. ?Trey has demonstrated time and again he has what it takes to win. He finished on a string of podiums last year, including winning three Supercross? and was well in the championship hunt. Throughout his professional racing career, Justin has shown great speed in the 450 competition and he?s always a contender to podium or win. We are really excited to see what he can do on a factory Honda-prepared CRF450R.?
