obviously we will make sure that
every proper protocol is followed
prior to having any events that
would include fans.
Feld Entertainment was
forced to lay-off several peo-
ple. Will that have any effect on
the Supercross program?
Obviously, with the Covid-19
outbreak which has resulted in
some unprecedented shutdowns
that have never been seen be-
fore, it's affected all of our shows
worldwide. It's unfortunate, the
circumstances that everybody's
in right now, but we had to make
some difficult decisions along the
way. We're moving forward. Dave
[Prater, Director of Operations
- Supercross] and I and Sean
[Brennan, Media Relations] and
the team here are still progressing
with Supercross 2020, 2021. As
we head down that path, we're
100-percent confident that we're
going to be able to produce a
world-class show when we're
ready to go racing.
What about the outdoor
Motocross Championship? Are
you working with MX Sports
Pro Racing regarding possible
racing schedule conflicts?
We are working closely with MX
Sports, the teams and athletes so
that everyone is aligned on what
motocross and Supercross racing
will look like for the remainder of
the year. We all have to be aligned
in this unprecedented time.
Is there anything you want
supercross fans to know that
we haven't hit on?
The biggest thing is when we
do pick back up, we're picking
up on one of the best seasons of
supercross ever. We were averag-
ing almost 50,000 fans. We have
an incredible points battle in all
three classes. I think that's the
most exciting part of this is that it's
not over. We're going to be mov-
ing forward. It's something to look
forward to. I know all of us here
are looking forward to it. Hopefully,
your viewers at home are, as well.
So, one more time: you are
100-percent sure you will finish
out the season this year with 17
rounds?
I never say 100-percent. We're
99.9-percent. Let's reiterate.
That is the current plan. That is
what we're planning for, and that's
100-percent the goal. CN
