Hi Guys,
This weekend we'll have another GP! This time at Loket.
Outside of the main MXGP / MX2 class we'll also have the EMX 65 / 85 / 300 racing.
I believe the EMX 65 & 85 series are a 1 race championship. So the winners in these classes will be crowned European Champions. There is allot of talent in these classes so it should be really fun to see them in action. Some really fast dutch kids who i am excited about
Other news is, Herlings is out for this weekend. So the MX2 class will see a new winner for the 2016 season since Herlings won every overal so far.
In the 450 class Romain Febvre will make his return. Which is allways exciting!

Take an onboard lap around the track with Benoit Paturel.
Vandueren leading before Kras & Gregory. Pretty tight group for the lead.

Pit Row
I am here with my friends for the second year in a row and it still amazes me how fast these guys go on the hard pack. Really impressed by Mewse by the way, rode really strong and didn't see him making any mistakes.
MXGP was beautiful to watch again. Those guys were doing the double triple after the start in time practice! I think the track is the best track for racing too, natural obstacles and some great throttle control that is needed!
It's bloody steep track, and, especially that downhill corner / kink where Jonas and Ferrandis came together (and Ferrandis just had the misfortune to have a bloke in front of him that probably limited him from just that extra poofteenth of a kph, to not have Jonas clack him - not a dirty block pass, at all, GG83, just one of those 'things'), and Panda and AC did, you get natural crossed lines (and that 'hook' / 'wall' on the outside that formed made it even worse for whoever was on the outside line in). Always been a 'moment' corner, that one.
I missed most of it - just got power back on after part of a tree fell down, that took out a courtyard wall, and, thankfully, just glanced my Workshop, cracking one of it's walls - there's a tree here that's gunna get a serious effing trimming over the next few days - it's a bloody 60ft+, multiple trunked monster and it Will end up taking out my Workshop / House, one day. I have to get it, before it gets me!
Track seemed to handle the rain well, which is a surprise - it's a hard pack track that can be like an ice rink in the dry, so it surprised me how it took the rain. Made for weird, hidden ruts / push ups, etc that took a few down, like Nagle.
I'm about to check out the 65s and 85s - those little ratbags on that track should be interesting............
Townley's replacement, Krasinki (sp?) is Huge. Funny to see Lisa with her hand above her head to get the mike up to him, and, I think she was standing on the blocks / bricks that are at the back of the start pit.
Should be pretty wild, without Herlings it's pretty wide open for some guys to try and get their first GP win!
