Interesting numbers from MX2 qualifier. Roczen crossed the checkers first with a quickest lap of 1:49.291 followed by Shaun Simpson 35 seconds behind (quickest lap 1:52.253).

It gets interesting when you see Musquin 21st and a lap down with a quick lap of 1:49.272 and Herlings sitting back in 14th with the quickest lap of the quali at 1:48.011.

Only Herlings, Roczen, and Musquin were in the 1:48/1:49 range. The next quickest single lap in the field was 1:52.167 by Steven Frossard.

Zach Osborne fans will be happy to see Z'Oz qualifying 5th, albeit one minute and three seconds behind Roczen at the flag with a quick lap of 1:53.202.

Sounds like big drama incomingSmile

I just watched the qualy video on vurbmoto, looks like Im going to be staying up late tonight haha. I want to see Roczen beat Marvin so bad but those orange rockets just get out of the gate so well. Every race at the start its always Musquin, Simpson, or Herlings.

The heat started with a Red Bull KTM Factory Racing MX2 battle for first in between holeshotter Musquin and home rider Herlings. The latter took the lead at the end of the opening lap and led the pack until he crashed at lap five. The initial disappointment was followed by an impressive recovery from 33rd to 14th.

Musquin was handed back the lead by Herlings but was passed by Roczen with one lap to go. A last lap attack to the German ended with the crash of Musquin, who did not finish the race.

The track is dry and is gonna get really heavy and rough tomorrow. The 1:03 gap doesn't tell the whole story due to the fact I was around 25 after the second turn so by the time I got into 6th the other guys were gone so I just kind of held my spot. Good post though!

Hope you get good starts in both motos and not have to come from far back.

Then I can see you being on the box. You're a charger for sure.

Best wishes.

Well I think Roczen is probably faster than Barcia. The DMXS guys were basing everything off a Loretta's race they did in the same class when Roczen was two years younger.

What is Barcia supposed to think? He already raced Roczen and beat him. 5 out of 6 motos Barcia beat Roczen by 1 minute. Roczen's fastest lap time was 2:08 compared to Barcia's 1:59. Both riders have gotten faster since then and it sucks we wont see them face off anytime soon.

Really!?!? My mistake then!

On another note, the track doesn't look that rough as of yet... will they let it go till race time or how much maintenance are they typically doing at the GPs these days?!?!
