How to Read a Moto Sheet
It's the call from the announcer that everyone is waiting for: "Motos are posted!" Suddenly, everyone drops what they are doing and crowds around the moto boards to see when and who they will be racing. The moto sheets will also tell you how many riders are transferring to the main, and what gate positions you have.
All of this is vital information that you'll need to know - and we're going to break it down for you, so you can read a moto sheet. CLICK THE IMAGE and learn what everything means on the moto sheet.
