Riders in the American Motorcyclist Association Supercross Championship will have to wait until February to rev their engines in Oakland.
According to Jason Weigandt, an NBC Sports race announcer, this is the first time in the series' 50-year history that a race has been postponed. Supercross is a modern take on motocross. The former is known as indoor dirt bike racing because it takes place within stadiums while the latter is known as outdoor dirt bike racing for being held on off-road courses.
"The atmospheric river fought us all week and it's not going to stop. We built and completed a revised mellow mud track that would hopefully allow the event to move forward," said Dirt Wurx in an Instagram post.
