What is the best track you rode on in 2014?
VALENTINO: I loved the World Cup in Argentina : technical, fast, long. I love when there is a big pick up as on the first straight.
What was the worst track you had to ride in 2014 in your opinion ?
VALENTINO: I think Rotterdam was too small for elite riders. I loved the first straight and there were good ideas on the rest of the track. I guest it was not easy to do a good track with these facilities but straights were too short, we were notable to pass someone without crashes...

Nyhaug: For me so far the best track we've raced on is the SX track in Santiago Del Estero. Its wide open, fast, and theres nothing crazy on it. It flows really well and you can go fast everywhere. Its overall a fantastic race track and I think all SX tracks should be a bit more like that one. The racing was really good

Nyhaug: The Worlds track was the worst one. I think for the space
