The 2013 FIM World Championships start this weekend in Qatar, then it's to Southeast Asia and the first-ever Thailand GP. Vurb's David "A Year in Motocross" Bulmer has made the overland trip to Thailand and has been blogging his adventures along the way. Here's a video preview of the track from the viewpoint of three-time Thai Motocross of Nations team rider Trakarn Thanthong, from his Vurbmoto.com GoPro.

They're going to hold a GP at a track like this? Looks flat and skinny

Hopefully they will tweak it for the GP...looks half finished to me.

I've seen worse tracks. Okay, that's a lie. This one is as bad as they get.

There's absolutely nothing wrong with the track in my opinion. Lake Elsinore is way worse for spectators and what comes to flatness and stuff for example. And the track is not even half ready as you can see... Cmon guys. I think it's super cool that they hold a GP in Thailand. And Thanthong sure knows how to ride, he is fast as hell!
