Interesting in the 250 class: Since there isn't an EMX race some of the top riders from EMX 250 are riding the GP today!

Here is the standings for both classes going into todays GP. 250s are gonne be a battle to the end!

Friend of mine rode that track not long ago and he said it's far from sandy. Perhaps they tilted it deep.

Both Anstie and Guillod making mistakes in the top 5 in the begining of the race.

Jonass and Gajser in the lead battling!

Brian Hsu is a little fella. Looks a bit like Roczen when he started out

Jerks! NBC would have given you 20 minutes in the middle of a race for that! Laughing

Gajser's bike seems underpowered. Sounds like he has to ride the shit out of it in the sand

I don't want to jinx Jonass, but I've seen almost his every race coming up starting from 65 cc to when he stepped on 250. He very rarely makes mistakes. I believe I saw him crash just once in 5 years when he was on 65, 85 and 125.

Anstie awesome. He has won 6 of the last 7 races. His bike quit in the other.

If Frossard didn't have bad luck he would have no luck at all.

I did not know, that is cool to learn that.

I quoted you but I mainly wanted to write something about Strijbos. Is this injury that bad ? That sounds like a big bummer for team belgium at the MXdN. It is crazy they could often filed 2 teams that could be win/podium contenders but this year it is turning out pretty bad with the injury list. Is Desalle really out for the season too ?

My thought too. Was the next big thing with Rinaldi then injuries etc.

I think he could form a team with Searle who is pretty much having a rough season too.

Amazing when we know they both have the talent to be top 3 top 5 ...

Yep Strijbos out for the rest of the season, here is his official twitter message Unsure


Out for the season. Snapped one of the ligaments on the thumb. Monday operation. I hope my bad luck is running out now. #2016

You are welcome! I enjoy the AMA Nationals threads so thought it's cool to do the same for the GP's.
