Wow great ride for Osbourne, in the 1st MX2 moto for 3rd, with a great start in the 2nd moto, and with some racing luck, maybe possible for a GP win? dunno , but should be on the podium, with a de cent result 2nd moto,,, go Zach,,

Wit Roczen winning the 1st moto, and J.Herlings having problems, and now Roczen falling in moto 2,opens the door, for Paulin or Osbourne or even Searle to get a GP win, and with Roczen,s and Herlings speed this season,there wont be alot of chances like today for them,
IF Roczen wins the title this yr, and moves to the US, then next yr Herlings should be the top contender,,, IMO

In the MX 1 class,Cairoli had a terrible start to his season, but has really made up alot of pts, and should be the pts leader after today,with racing luck on his side,, was really hoping Frossard and Desalle, will battle him all yr, and not be a runaway for Cairoli, but in mx anything can and will happen, and theres still alot of races after today, should be great racing on both sides of the pond all summer,Cool ,

As far as the temps, yesterday here was 35 c / 95 f, with 70% humidity, very hot here, with close to record seeting high temps, way early in the summer,so you guys bragging about 25c/ 77f,,,Tongue
Zach had a great race especially near the end of moto 2. Second overall at the French GP!

Yep, good to see Zach and Tommy do well.

No offence to Ken of course, he's an amazing talent but it's nice to see some other guy's battle it out for the top spot (for once).

Roczen is fine Scottie.
He crashed while leading, caught back up to sixth but got some bike problems and dropped back to eleventh.
Herlings only gained 1 point on him. Sad

MX1 racing is great btw. Not for the lead but Cairoli is at it.

Can't beat the French crowd singing along with the the National Anthem as Frossard wins his home GP... World Championship motocross at it's best right there.

Great racing all day nice to see Tommy win for GB, good ride for Osborne he should ride for USA at the MXDN

MX-Life is a other money cow from YS and a other fail from YS ... Every Grand Prix I see Tweets from people who have troubles with it...

But now Bench Race: Desalle showed some mental strength and if he can push the right buttons on Cairoli and Cairoli pushes the right buttons on Desalle it will be a good season! I only hope they don't push each other to far: Remember Cairoli - Pourcel (he broke his knee) and Rattray-Searle-Cairoli (he broke his ligaments)

That is really an awesome track! I could watch todays race over and over. Great motocross is all about massive elevation changes. Great racing in both classes. Loving the GP's this year with the excellent mxlife coverage.

Osborne definitely deserves a look especially since the MXDN will be at this track. He turned the fastest lap in the second moto and wasn't that far off the lead.
