Yamaha will anounce their SMX cup team tonight at 18:30 CEST on a facebook livestream.

Webb / Febvre / Van Hoorebeke would be a killer team Cool

This is the sx thing, correct? I haven't read up on it but if it's sx I would think Febvre, Webb and Reed would be better.

Correct it's the riders and manufacturers cup thingy, more information can be found here: http://www.mxgp.com/tracks/veltins-arena
Good call on Reed! He should be a better choice for SX track. Tonight we'll find out which team they took.

EMX150 is about to have their first moto at Assen in 15 minutes. Look out for Emil Weckman to kill it again!

But, but, it's Giuseppe's Vision for His sport, Apeman!

How can you question it......................? Whistling

The Saving grace is Sand - Vicious stuff. It's going to get nasty.

I hope they don't lose any of the 150F kids out there - Oh, hang on, it's tar underneath ( not all of it , I know) so they shouldn't disappear entirely. The kids are cool , especially Emil - but the class is such a piss poor suck up to Honda.

Yeah I mean the ONLY reason it's pass-able is that it's sand in a sandy nation, but FFS, when there is such an embarrassment of riches when it comes to just the most iconic sand tracks up the road, who the fuck cares about putting it here...

I don't know if i'm just getting crotchety or what, but even when i watched Unadilla the the other day, all these tracks, there just becoming one... the irregularities and character of the great tracks are being groomed away an the other rounds are being replaced by these shit shows...

Fucking MX is like the Australian government, stop patching shit up, and just build good amenities at the halls of the MX gods please!!!

See #21 prang and go into the bases of the fence? Luckily, he didn't get hurt, it appears

Seriously, this is unnecessarily bloody dangerous. It's too much to try to cover the bloody things, it appears.

Fredriksen putting on a late moto charge for the moto win. With Weckman out of the race the gap is 10 points for the championship.

Hopefully he'll become the next big thing from Finland. It's been a while.

Herlings leading the field in the MX2 timed practice right now.

Since the EMX250 series is concluded looks like some guys made the jump the MX2 for this GP. (Renaux, Vaessen, ...)

Thought Sanyae (sp) might try it, too. He's 'in' for the US rounds, isn't he?

Stream is about to go back up at: http://www.mxgp-tv.com/videos/1066426/mxgp-of-the-netherlands-2016-live

This time we'll get the WMX Moto 1. Some hype surrounding the dutch rider Nancy Van De Ven who stands 2nd in the championship. She's 27 points behind Lancelot. So the title is still somewhat possible infront of her home crowd. Not gonna be easy though... Gotta hope for a DNF by Lancelot.
