In fact it is, because of the shape of the track. Look it up!


According to The Guinness book of motorcycling facts and feats, the
competitions became known internationally as motocross racing, by
combining the French word for motorcycle, motocyclette, or moto for
short, into a portmanteau with "cross country"

I don't see how that relates to the novels or to the characters Peter
Lorre played.

Better go look again... I think the guy had a mole that was shaped like
the very first Motocross track or something like that. Funny, French. By
AMA rules, the french are not allowed to race Motocross in the US unless
accompanied by a citizen of the US. That rule of course is because the
French tried to steal the name and we don't trust them any more...

Take your troll to rec.motocross

Oh, poor baby... don't cry.

There's that "name calling and hate" that you so dislike....
