Frossard gave it to him on a silver plate, Cris didn`t even had to work for it.

After all the bullshit in here and in the media over CP, I bet mitch has got to be feeling pretty smug that his boy (and bike) are back on the top step.

Good job Superman

Seems to be content letting it come to him rather than chasing it.

Funny!! A Yamaha got owned by Christophe Pourcel ...
The Yamaha got stalled and the Kawasaki didn't...

I wonder did DV12 saw this race?? And what was he thinking at the moment that Pourcel377 overtook that YAMAHA??

Sorry David, but you always talked stuff like this so you will probably see the joke in it!

What's be low down on Townley?

Is he on a 2 year deal with CLS? Is he healthy, coming back to GPs for 2012 or is his career done?
BT had a one year deal with CLS.

I would say he's done.

Wow, Pourcel must have had his bell rung with the crash. He just tried to pick up the bike with a stuck throttle and it threw him over the bike.

I think there was something wrong with a clutch.

Here is some good news for 2012

Gonçalves and Bobryshev confirmed at Honda for 2012


The Honda World Motocross Team have confirmed Rui Gonçalves and Evgeny Bobryshev will form the rider line-up for the 2012 MX1 World Championship season.

In a press conference held at the GP of Great Britain, Honda Off-road Manager, Roger Harvey, and Team Manager, Lorenzo Resta announced that plans for the 2012 season will feature both current team riders.

Although Bobryshev is missing from competition for the British event, his performances – which have included five podiums, two moto wins and one overall victory this season – speak for themselves. Gonçalves has been steadily improving throughout the season and has now begun to show his true potential with a string of podium moto results.

At the start of 2011, Honda announced a three-year plan to achieve success within the World Motocross Championship. With increased support from Japan and a more focused technical direction , this plan is very much on track and riders Rui Gonçalves and Evgeny Bobryshev both remain an integral part.

Roger Harvey, Honda Off-road Manager, Honda Motor Europe
“This is the natural continuation of our three-year plan. We are extremely happy with the performance of both riders this year and still feel like they have a lot to give. With increased support from Honda Japan for next season, we are positive that we are heading in a really strong direction.”

Lorenzo Resta, Team Manager, Honda World Motocross
“This season has been fantastic for us and there is a really positive feeling in the team working with both these riders. Also becoming the official Honda team in 2011 has been a great honour and we feel we have made big strides forward. We still feel like we have more strides to make but are confident that we are in the ideal position t o take these.”

Rui Gonçalves, Honda World Motocross
“I feel really proud to be involved with this project and really proud of what we have achieved so far as a team. Coming to Honda this season was a big step for me and I really feel as though things are starting to come together now. I am looking forward to the future.”

Evgeny Bobryshev, Honda World Motocross
“Honestly, coming to the official Honda team has changed my life. Right from the beginning when we were testing in Japan before the season, things felt really good and I felt really comfortable. It is from this point I have pushed on to have a great season and I am looking forward to racing with this team again next year for sure.”

So on the restart do they just race the time remaining? lucky break for Tony.
8/21/2011 8:24am
As soon as they went to Tanel's helmet cam I knew he was going to get landed on. They flipped away just before, and you could see Billy jump it and Tanel not..... Not good. All the best to both riders, looks serious.

Track is very tricky right now but that was just a misjudgement.
