There are a dozen or men and women from the press here covering the event.

FIM rules allow the press to be in the enclosure area in the sections, the space between the white section tape and the yellow outer tape marking the crowd boundary. We’re given orange bibs so the riders don’t mistake us for dumb rocks.
