Supercross vs motoGP which is more difficult?

Question

what do you think is harder and takes more skill?

id say motoGP

Answer 1

supercross is more demanding on your body difficult to answer i go with supercross . try ridding 70 mph and turning right in 60 ft on dirt!

Answer 2

Hey Soul,

I too would say motogp, for many of the reasons Proc mentions above.

Answer 3

I think the answer to that would depend upon who you ask as I would go with the supercross being more difficult and demanding as I have a son who does it, but many others who have been involved in motogp may say otherwise.  There is skill in both disiplines and both can be dangerous. But will still stick with Supercross.

Answer 4

supercross by far. its very demanding on your body

Answer 5

I think the best man to answer this question is J.M. Bayle.

Im sure there is an interview online some where.

Ive got to go to work :( today, so you guys can have a look for it !

Answer 6

2 very different riding styles and techniques. many GP riders started out as motorcrossers. Nicky Hayden and Casey Stoner for example. The likes of Troy Bayliss likes to ride Motorcross to keep fit and stay sharp. I don't think many Moto GP racers go back to Motorcross but that's probably a money thing. I don't think that Motorcross pro's make the kind of money that a GP rider Makes.

I think that Nicky Hayden could compete competitively at Supercross but doubt if any of the top supercrossers could do the same in GP

So I think my answer is GP might be harder than supercross. but your average Road racer could not compete with your average motorcrosser on a motorcross circuit.
