The riders are saying the track is a dangerous joke, not suitable for MotoGP

So one rider, not “the riders”?

I don’t remember but I think others are on Instagram complaining as well.

If you watch track video, the bouncing is very apparent.

I’m there all weekend, so I’m in the stands, not so evident from on site, but I watched the replays last night, and it looks very dangerous..

I was thinking it looked very bouncy in the slow motion highlights I saw on MotoGP's YouTube channel.

Marquez said its awful too. Not sure why that's controversial... just need to drive in the general area of COTA to realize there's something messed up w the ground there.

Also Joan Mir.

That section is a mess. I’m looking at it right now. They just won’t fix it. The facility is excellent. The track needs work. This ain’t Europe.

Cota might be used for a lot of AUTO racing. Hence the bumps due to heavy breaking with heavier vehicles. FIA may have to tell them to repave or lose there GP's next year.

I don't think Texas normally gets a freeze/thaw cycle except for that winter storm that kicked their ass a while back. Combine that with soil which has a lot of clay, concrete and the like is going to crack and settle poorly.

Don't think the freeze had much to do w it. Maybe it aggravated it, but it's been sketchy for a while. I know folks blame the load from F1 cars, but the roads around COTA have the same issue... heaving is how I would describe it.
