Soil when dry

Dry loam is the ideal case: grippy, forms lines and forgives mistakes.

Soil after rain

After rain loam turns heavy and sticky - knobs pack up and the bike feels noticeably heavier.

Around 40 metres of elevation change over 1400 metres of track - that is the core number for Motokros Merklín in the Plzeň region. The lap runs between 3 and 8 metres wide, the ground is described as clay-sand, and there are three banked corners, five natural jumps and a start gate for 25 machines. Summer training is listed as Monday, Wednesday, Thursday and Saturday from 5 to 5.45 pm, with dates arranged by phone through Werner Kříž. One expectation to correct straight away: during training there is no infrastructure and no service here. Those 3 metres of minimum width are the real character of this place. Where the lap narrows, the line is decided before you turn in and not by courage afterwards - and with 40 metres of elevation the narrow spots are almost certainly the steep ones. Start thinking about your line halfway up the climb and you stop. Surface and character are not held in our data; the soil note comes from a directory. So no setup diagnosis from us here.
