Clarified: MXGP of Russia

Orlyonok will run on Monday
Thursday, 26th April 2018
The sixth round of the FIM Motocross World Championship, the Grand Prix of Russia, is just days away, but why is it being run on a Monday and Tuesday? The move has been made so that the event coincides with a major holiday in Russia, known as Labor and Spring Day.
A majority of banks, public buildings and educational institutions are closed on this day. So, with that in mind, there is a chance that some fresh faces will be attracted to the event that takes place alongside the Black Sea. The holiday takes place on Tuesday, the day that the points-paying motos will be run.
