The track was too slick to water. It'd be like riding on ice if they watered some sections of that track

Really good race, I was hanging on the edge of my seat there those last couple of laps. Glad for Tommy!

De Dycker would have to be on the full factory KTM next weekend. He is riding too darn good to have him on the old bike

I think the "old" KTM works really good for Keeno Smile

The first 20 minutes of that last MX1 race was nuts! Great race in MX2 as well..Searle rode well. Should be a good championship.

What Bulgaria has is a Government who is willing to Pay to get a race there, not much else.

LOL Yeah, I couldn't believe my ears when I heard him say that.

Herling's should learn to give credit where credits due, Tommy's a worthy opponent. Surely it can't be that difficult for him...

There is war of words between them both. They both deliberately keep saying things in interviews that they hope will annoy the other.

Wow,just got back and watched this,the finish in MX2 was intense and the 2nd MX1 Moto was awesome! What happened to Cairoli,he was closing on Pourcel and Paulin then next I saw he'd lost a load of time?

Any news on ValentinTeliet? that was an awful get off Sad

Tommy basically said in Valkenswaard what everyone else said i.e Jeffrey is too damn good in the sand - in other words he (Herlings) can have this one. After the day was done he was happy to get out of there with a podium and everyone understood the vein in which he said it. He never said "I let him win" as in, "I could've beaten him at any time but just didn't fancy it".

The comments from Herlings today... it was almost like he wanted everyone to believe he was just toying with Searle that 2nd moto, like he could've taken the win at any time. Which is ridiculous, obviously. I mean clearly both riders rode their socks off.

Not beating up on JH and I'm not a die hard TS fan either. But it was a funny statement to make imo.
Though maybe he meant to say something else... idk. Of course it doesn't really matter.

Cracking race from both riders regardless.

"Which is ridiculous"

A lot of things are "ridiculous" about Jeffery, his attitude being one of them.
